JP1 Remotes

In the RCRP05B RDF file, which our tools use to get the description of each remote type, the devices are listed as CBL, TV, DVD, AUD, dev4, dev5, dev6, DVR. To make dev4 active, construct a macro which contains, at a minimum, the virtual button dev4. Then when you call that macro, the device mode ...

OK, thanks.
I've never tried to do a macro. That will be fun to try.

...... The RCA is actually 8 device in IR, so don't sell it short. .......

Sorry for being so late in responding to this, but at the time, I only needed 5 devices on that RCA remote.
Anyway, dumb question here, but I'm curious re how you can use 8 devices if there are only 5 buttons to select ...

The ESCAPE button is *only* used to exit the LCD programming mode, you can't assign a function to it using an upgrade or a keymove.

The HOME/0167 code included in the remote is designed to work with an IR543 box . I'm guessing that you thought the IR extender box that comes with the 15-1995 would ...

I've been using KM for years, usually with my RS 2116s and the OFA-9910.
A while back I also picked up a RS-1995, which I programmed with a few devices, which went OK.
Yesterday, however, I decided to put another device on the 1995, and to make the layout appear as similar as possible to my 2116 ...

Update.
I went to Wallmart and Lowes, and neither had a remote that was on the JP1 list. Finally went to RS, and they had the RCA 5 device remote, which is a JP-1.3 .

I hooked up the Tommy Tyler cable without the adapter, and it worked, even with my laptop with the flakey USB ports.

So it seems ...

Thanks for suggestions re remotes. The Piggly Wiggly caught my eye. I had never heard of a Piggly Wiggly, but I recently read a quote attributed to Chuck Noll, old Steelers coach, who apparently said that you can't just go out and find good cornerbacks at Piggly Wiggly. Never heard of the store ...

Thanks to Tommy for sending the replacement interface.
I just received the interface.
I've checked it out on 3 different computers with 4 different JP1 remotes, with the test program, IR.exe, and RealTerm. Unfortunately, I still can't get it to work on any of the above. All 3 programs make the ...

What do you mean exactly by "both" drivers for Tommy's cable? We may have some confusion here that's the source of your problem. Tommy's cable only uses a single FDTI driver found on THIS page. It's built in to XP and later. The Win98 version is at the bottom of that page. You shouldn't be using ...

UPDATE:

I have now tried the Tommy Tyler cable (with the JP1 adapter) in 3 other computers, a Win2k, an old XP laptop, and a New XP-Pro desktop. I was sure that it would work in all three, as none have ever had USB problems of any kind. However it doesn't work in any of these computers either. I'm ...

is the newer laptop a 64-bit xp?
No, it's 32 bit XP pro, SP3 . It's only "newer" by my standards. I think it's probably 4-5 years old. The USB ports on this computer have been getting flakey, connection wise, but they still work for other devices. When they got flakey, I bought a pcmcia USB hub ...

I think at one point I tried re-booting the remote by removing the batteries, but the instructions said that if the remote was still functional that that wouldn't be necessary. I'll try that again.

Yes, I had the batteries in. I tried 4 different remotes, as I figured maybe one or 2 of them had ...

I've been doing JP1 for years with RS 1995, 2116, and OFA 9910 remotes.
For several years, I was using a simple cable which I bought, I can't remember if it was serial or parallel, but I THINK serial. But I switched over to a USB cable that I bought a few years ago, which worked directly with the ...

Oh, OK. THanks guys.

I knew that the forum moved over here from Yahoo, but I thought that the Yahoo files section was still current. Thanks for the info. I'll check there.
