JP1 Remotes

Just done making my own cable.
only errors from IR.exe
i've just built a parallel cable.

check interface with autocheck with or without batteries : no response from remote
check interface without autocheck with or without batteries : no response from remote

when trying to download from remote i get
did not receive a response from remote (errno=6 param=0)

but if i reverse the connector on the remote i get no response from device ?

any idea

built it using 4 wire from a cat5E wire
had no ribbon wire.
maybe i should try it with regular telephone wire.
i've seen cable done both ways.
using it on a canadian 8811b00 from the source

If you use 4 wire are you forgeting that pin 1 and 2 has to be jumpered in some way?

darn
i think that was it
never bothered with pin 1 and 2
let me jump them

thanks doing the repair right now
testing in a min

success
thanks again
they were soldered together in the db25 but not into a connector at the other end.
DETAIL they say , Paid attention to details
ahahaha
again thanks

Glad to hear you got it sorted. Sometimes overlooked minor details can make the works become bollocks.

plus its my first soldering project so not to much experience.
trying to troubleshoot + test my solder.
yes overlooked that little detail but hey now i know
ahahah learn something every day
