JP1 Remotes

Ok thanks guys - makes sense.

I guess if people are loading device upgrades in the first place, they'll know to check for any conflicts.

First off, quick terminology lesson, the numbers you are referring to are "setup codes". "Device codes" are the numbers that are embedded in the fixed portion of the signals themselves.

But to answer your question, while they do keep track of the official numbers back at UEI when they come up with ...

I've created some device upgrades over the past few years for a couple of different things. When I made them, I basically just picked a setup code I wasn't using as the number (thinking I'd revisit it later).

Anyhow, is there a strategy to picking setup code numbers in situations like this? Some ...

Extenders are loaded into the remotes as upgrades. We have a few tricks that we can do to get the necessary info to make them work.

Ok, thanks Rob.

the ROM in the newer remotes could potentially be completely overlaid, so if you're happy enough with the hardware of the remote, you could potentially write your own firmware to replace the built in firmware.

Interesting. Does anyone know if if the basic jp1.2/3 links (such as Tommy makes) would ...

Well,

I wasn't really thinking so much about the hardware (with the exception of more memory) - but it would be nice to have 100% full control over what we're doing software wise. Generating IR remote signals is a relatively simple thing on a modern micocontroller.

I guess I'm not thinking so much ...

I was just curious - has the group ever discussed/considered building our own remote? E.g. using an existing remote "shell" and putting our own electronics in? This would allow much greater flexibility I think.

I have been using JP1 for years, but I can't say I'm very familiar with remote hardware ...

Reading a little more in the forums, it occurs to me that I should probably describe what it is specifically about the 8810 that I like to help generate some more targeted recommendations:

1. The ability to hit the device button (e.g. SAT, DVD, ...etc) on the remote and have a macro automatically ...

Greetings,

I've been catching up in the forums over the past few days (I've been away for a while). I've been happily using my URC8910 remote for the past several years, adding protocols, devices, custom macros, and even creating my own devices on occasion when needed as our home audio/video ...
