JP1 Remotes

Hi guys,

I've made simple JP1 LPT interface for my URC-8017 (=8011) and simple GetIR COM interface for my PC. They all work fine. I've read lots of menu, still have some question need help.

Whe I try to save file that I've modified some button's map. I all got "1004 - Class Workbook SaveAs Failed" error, and it doesn't save my text files. How do I solve this problem?

How do I export/save IR's data file to Keymap-master format?

I have some non-public remote controllers - ie. Telecaption 4000 (Closed Caption Decoder). I can get each button's two OBC bytes from Girder.exe. The second byte is button's HEX function code, but no Protocol Name/ID/Fixed Data. If I want to add these devices to URC-801x, how do I know their Setup Code that won't confilct with others on Rob's data base and their Protocol Name/ID/Fixed Data?

There is one "ov" column in Functions / Keymap-master, what it is?

I can get raw data in GetIr.xls, but DecodeIr seems not work. Where I can find GetIr.xls menu to active it?

There is "Learned Signals" function to get Ir code from DecodeIR. How do I install/active this driver and get raw data to decode Protocol/Device?

When I set "Shift" at checked/Yes, does it mean I already active extender in this OFA URC-801x?

TIA

Thanks for your help.

@Mark Pierson,
The problem is in save button. I know save from menu-file will save entire KM.

I'm getting use to IR & KM. It's pity that IR file can't export to KM for easier update key position.

I'm using IR401. I just can't find any button can get remote control IR signal for decoding.

I can set IR shift check or put Key in KM shift position. They all work on 8017 "set" as shift function. I still can't figure out it's on extender activated or not yet.

@mr_d_p_gumby
Yes, GetIR.xls spreadsheet lack of menu. So I can't decode original signal to HEX format. I've read other explanation document about long signal represent to 1 and short one represent to 0. But if I can use DecodeIR function, then I don't need waste lots of time to count each bit, am I right?

Any suggestion for which software that I can read original remote control protocol's ID? I can use Girder.exe to get regular button byte at second byte. But this software can't show pioneer's long/multi byte command. I need one good software to get whole string.

One more thing about hard ware - If I change 24lc16 EEPROM to 24lc64 and above on URC-8017 and 8910 and 9600 that I want to buy a new one. Can I use all EEPROM for 8K byte? 24lc16 only has around 200 byte for key move. It's almost full at my own purpose.

I can't post the screen shot. It is -

"The following error occurred while attempting to SAVE
C:\Program Files\IR remote control\JP1\Keymap-master\anyfile.txt

1004 - Class Workbook 的 SaveAs 方法失敗."

I'm using KMv8.05 in Chinese XP with Macro enable in Excel. I have same problem on v8.02~8.05.

Thanks for other reply. It helps.

GetIR.xls use it's fixed folder! That's why I have problem. I'll try to change this and see what will happens.

If you know how to edit VBA code, there's something I'd like you to try:

Open KM.
Open the VBA Editor (Tools|Macro|Visual Basic Editor).
Under the KM project, open Modules.
Under Modules, open KM_Routines.
Go to the UpgradeSAVE procedure and look for this line of code:

Nope, I did modify VB and no luck. I also have tried to save as DN.txt. It still won't save it.

1004 - Class Workbook 的 SaveAs 方法失敗.
1004 - Class Workbook's SaveAs method failure.
- It should shows in Englisg like this.

Can you tell me what messages (if any) you get AFTER pressing SAVE and BEFORE seeing the error message?

Before:
Enter a filename for this device upgrade... --- in status line.
It ask me a file name. I've tried to use DN.txt as simple as I can.
Saving device upgrade file... --- in status line.

Error message pop up.

After:
Hour glass and then
Re-calculating... --- in status line:

Nothing is saved.
