JP1 Remotes

Well, frankly. I don't use toggle power commands - I have created discretes for those that don't have them with ToadTog - and instead use method #4 described above. "Power" is my "All OFF" macro, and the device buttons are "Discrete ON, Select appropriate inputs" macro.

So if I understand this ...

ToadTog protocol allows you to do this both ways, i.e.
(1) create "discretes" where none exist from "toggles", AND/OR
(2) create "toggles" where none exist from "discretes"

Unfortunately, it appears there is no ToadTog protocol for the RCA RCU810.

Yes, I found this tidbit last night when I was ...

Another possibility would be ToadTog.

If bit (switch) is OFF send power on and set the bit ON.

If bit is ON send power off and then set bit OFF.

Hmmm, maybe I have the ToadTog all wrong since you are the second person to suggest that. I read thru the docs several times but so far it hasn't ...

1] Have power-ON on power and power-OFF on shift-power and that way you can still leave the discrete ON and OFF available for macros?

2] Have power off as a LongKeyPress

3] Read up about TOADTOG

4] Use #1 and have one macro that turns all your devices OFF and another that turns all your devices ...

My Harmon/Kardon amp has a seperate button for power off and power on. I would like to program my RCU810 so that the on/off button toggles the power like it does for any of my other devices. From what I have found on the web, this is possible but I have not yet figured out how to approach this. A ...

It sounds like you're pretty confident in what you're doing and don't need my help, so I'll back off. Enjoy.

First, thanks very much for your help and for going the extra mile in your efforts to help.
I do have an electronics background so hardware stuff is fairly straight forward to me ...

I notice that the clock has reset

Unfortunately that is normal.

I think there is some extender or protocol or something you can install to coordinate with an IR.exe feature to fix the clock on one keypress after the reset.

Great, thanks for letting me know. It's not a big deal but I wanted to ...

I am trying to install an upgrade on my RCU810. When I do an 'upload to remote' in IR I get no error messages and 'verify write' is enabled. This seems to imply that the writes are successful. When I then try to operate the remote, I notice that the clock has reset and the programming seems to have ...

If the pins are soldered in in the regular way, the black plastic part of the 6-pin rests up against the PCB itself, so you won't push them through, but in that case the pins would be sticking through and interfering with the buttons.

If you held the 6-pin so just the tips of the pins were showing ...

No, didn't look for specific instructions. The pins don't stick thru as it is obvious that this will screw up the works (especially the keys right next to the pins).
What did you do to prevent the pins from sticking through? If you just used solder, there's a very good chance that you will push ...

I purchased an RCA810 remote, installed header pins and all is working first try !
Did you follow the instructions for installing the pins into the RCU810? Especially the part about not letting the pins stick through so that they can mess up the button sheet?

No, didn't look for specific ...

Just a followup note ....

I purchased an RCA810 remote, installed header pins and all is working first try !
Now I just have to dive in and learn how to program this thing.

Thanks to you all for the assistance. Based on the RCA810 working, I am thinking that the Atlas 5 control was in fact JP1.1 ...

(no eeprom, but it could be integrated on the processor) If there's no EEPROM and no space for it (labeled U2?), then the remote is likely NOT a JP1 remote. If the EEPROM is integrated with the CPU, then it's likely a JP1.1 or JP1.2 remote (which we don't support yet).

No, there is no U2, EEPROM ...

Did you read any of the information on how to open up remotes?
LOL ... that would be entirely too simple :) .... but I did have a general clue before I took it apart.

Do you see a small 8-pin IC marked 24C16 or anything close to that? That's the EEPROM, and if there is none it isn't supported by ...

the moto 6412 Phase 3 box is the latest DVR box. I have the previous version (phase 2). the remote that came with mine (that has the swap button on it since both phase 2 and phase3 6412's are dual tuner dvr's) is jp1.2. I've read that the remote coming with the phase 3 boxes is also a jp1.2 remote ...
