JP1 Remotes

So far it seems to work. For anyone else using the URC-8206 the map file is not included in the standard Images zip but aberguerand has posted it here https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=3115

OK. Thanks, johnsfine. I will try that.

I have built the interface and downloaded my URC-8206 JP1.2 remote with IR.EXE. Now I want to start playing with Keymap Master but the remote is not listed in KM.

How do I proceed?

Appreciate the help.

Tim.

In the JP1.2 you will not need to connect to the 7 pin in the DB9. Those components (resistor and diode) will not be there for the JP1.2... only JP1.x. You will also not connect to pin 5 on the IDC connector for the JP1.2 only interface. Make sure you have the up to date version of the schematic as ...

My USB->Serial converter is one bought off Ebay so has no brand as such. From the Device Manager it is a "Huge Pine USB to Serial Ports" I have used it for other things so the cable does work

Go you good thing! It is working like a gem.

Had another look at my circuit and hadn't made two connections (wanker :oops: ). Lesson 1 build the interface in one sitting and not three hoping you'll remember to make that connection tomorrow!

The tester software comes up as JP1.2 interface found ...

Rebuilt the interface.

Still no good. Ran the test software and got this message. At present have built the JP1.2 only interface may convert it to JP1.x because shadsnz (same remote as me) built it and is working.

I have tried on my computer with a USB->Serial converter and on another computer ...

That 'corrected' design has an error. The backside picture of the JP1.2 design does not match the frontside.

Tim.

Yeah, Opened and COM in upper case.

I just copied e.axel's when I saw he had the same error as me.

Tim.

Same error as e.axel (on my old interface)

Fantastic Tommy.

Thanks. That does make the troubleshooting a lot easier.
