JP1 Remotes

My neighbor has a Cable Co provided remote, (Scientific Atlanta Explorer 3 according to IR) and it has the 6 pin connector. We have been able to download the info from the remote to the IR program, but there doesn't seem to be a matching remote type in KM. Any help? Thanks

are there any identifying marks on the remote, especially in the battery compartment?

can you take a picture of the remote and post it?

The battery compartment lid says "model #E2050ER1" Model name explorer, SA part # 590272

You could try the "SA40 (Sc Explorer).rdf" RDF file to load to it and see if it works. It's signature will cause an error message when you try to install it but say it is OK and I promise it will not hurt the remote. I just may not work until it is reset if the RDF is not close enough.

Nils,
If he downloads the remote and posts the raw code somewhere, can an RDF be created for him? Is that how the process works?

If that is how the proccess works and I wanted to help, where do I go to read about how to convert the raw data to an RDF? or is this just something you get with years of experience? Thank You in advance!

I have posted the raw data as "scientific Atlanta.txt" in the diag area. Any help will be appreciated. Or...are we wasting time. Can this remote even do any other devices, such as a Sony Sourround system and DVD player?

Scientific Atlanta.txt

When I opened this file, IR.exe automatically used the "ER10 (Sc Explorer 3).rdf" RDF, what problems did you have when you downloaded it?

The errors of my way in reading your post wrong was pointed out to me. I thought IR did not recognize it. I see now that IR does recognize the remote but there is no support for the Scientific Atlanta 3 remote in KM. I checked and that looks right. I also checked and RM does support it so that leaves you with two options. One is to see if Mark can add support to KM (unless I missed it there) or download and install RM which is in the required tools section of jp1 (link below my name)

I also have a couple SA Exp3 remotes. This is a sweet remote from the standpoint of something that feels good in your hand and is laid out well. I'd love to be able to get some additional functionality out of it.

I have taken some pics that I could submit for inclusion in RM. Currently RM uses the "Generic Remote" pic. Who should I send them to? I looked on SourceForge and didn't see any provision for submitting to the project.

Neither of mine currently have any upgrades installed. I just used IR to save the config. I will do whatever you'd need to get the info. Just let me know.

Would it help to have pics of the board?
