RTI Trigger Codes - won't decode.

Post by **The Robman** » Tue May 19, 2009 6:21 am

The URC-8820s are $19 each, domestic shipping within the US is $5, but as I suspect you're actually in the UK, international shipping is $12.50.

Full payment details are in my "for sale" thread.

If you'd like me to pre-load the upgrade into the remotes for you, could you first figure out what a good button layout would be, because I have no idea.

Here's the KM file:

Thanks Rob. Actually no .. wrong end of the globe - I'm in New Zealand!
You have helped me in the past and I have bought a few 8910's off you.
Is the shipping the same for NZ? Can you get two in the same envelope?

Don't worry about preloading an upgrade, I've bought a DVD/HDD recorder which I need to add to the system so it's time to rip it apart and start again with it.

Yeah, but it's an upgrade that you need anyways, and you cannot create it, nor do you have it (until Rob posts the manual setting upgrade

) so he might as well preload it, and it'll already be there for you.

I hope you understood that the 8820's need a completely different type of cable for JP1 programming than the 8910's use.

Yes, the $12.50 international shipping charge is good for anywhere on the globe. And like John said, the URC-8820 requires a JP1 (Flash) cable, which is different to the JP1 (EEPROM) cable that you use on your URC-8910 remote.

Hi
No I wasn't aware a different cable was required - no problem, I'll do some more reading about making one, although if you have one of those for sale too let me know in the next day or so before I transfer some money.
Is the 8810 a JP1.2.device then?

As far as an upgrade button layout goes it's awkward as these codes get split across a whole bunch of devices. But to get me started (if I can't upload things initially) you could just put the following on the number keys of any device, and I'll use both remotes until I can re-program the whole thing.

Macro 32 SAT Select 1
Macro 33 DVD Select 2
Macro 34 VCR Select 3
Macro 46 DVDR/HDD Select 4
Macro 45 Prime Select 5
Macro 35 SAT/VCR Amp On 6
Macro 47 DVDR/HDD Amp On 7
Macro 38 System Off 8

Thanks again
Peter

The URC-8820 is a JP1.2 remote, which if you recall was the whole point. The JP1.2 remotes use the HCS08 processor which is the only one that supports a signal this long (though I may eventually try formatting the signal manually for the S3C8 remotes).

I don't have any JP1.2 cables. If you decide against making one, I recommend that you get a JP1.2/3 USB cable from Tommy Tyler.

When you send the finda via Paypal, please add a note reminding me to add the code or I will forget.

I'll add those functions to the numeric buttons, but just FYI, even before you get a JP1.2 cable, you will be able to program any additional buttons that you like using advanced codes. You can get the list from the KM file, or I can post them later if you like.

Thanks for everything Rob ... I've transferred the funds to you yesterday.
I've also bought one of Tommy's cables to go with it, so I'm all set to get on and upgrade my whole system!
Looking forward to it.
Thanks again
Cheers
Peter

Hey Peter,
Sorry for the delay in responding, I was out of town for the holiday weekend. It appears that you sent a credit card payment to my "bank" Paypal account, so I had to deny the payment. Please re-read the payment instructions in my "for sale" thread (link in my sig).

Thanks,
Rob

Very sorry Rob - I have processed it again for you.

Hi Again.
I've recieved the URC-8820, (Thanks) and also the Interface cable and IR Widget I bought from Tommy.

Some problems though.

I began by loading a simple upgrade file for my TV, which worked perfectly with my URC-8910.
I opened the file in RM and coverted it to a URC-8820 file and uploaded to the remote.
First thing I noticed was it acted as though there were some keymoves somewhere. i.e - codes OK but not all on correct keys.
No keymoves were programmed in IR.
I reset the 8820 (with the 980 code) and uploaded again.
No change.
I then used the remotes set function to program the TV device to the number I allocated in IR.
Bingo - all codes on correct buttons.
I have repeated this several times and the same thing happens each time.

Any ideas why that might happening?

THE RTI PROTOCOL

The RTI protocol upgrade I then loaded was the one posted here.
(RTI Trigger numbers = OBC numbers)
https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=6744
This is not working though.
I notice the transmitted codes are very short (once and not repeating?)
Is this correct?
I have tried learning one of these codes generated from th URC-8820 (System Off Macro 38)
IR Widget won't register anything. (tested and works well with other codes)
My USBUIRT http://www.usbuirt.com/ will register a short burst. If I accept this burst as a learn, the resulting code wont decode with IR Tool.

(this has been a great little learner for me)

0000 006A 0000 0044 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0020 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0021 0020 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0021 0010 0011 0010 0011 0020 0021 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0020 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0021 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0020 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0021 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0020 0011 0010 0011 0010 0021 0020 0011 0010 0011 0010 0011 0010 0021 0010 0011 0010 0011 0020 0FFA
(I dont know what the USBUIRT does when it accepts a short burst, so I dont know if this will help at all)

Here's what I get if I learn the same thing into my URC-8910

I pre-loaded the RTI upgrade into the remote for you, did you try that before loading your own upgrade?

simonsezdothis · Post by **simonsezdothis** » Mon Jun 08, 2009 10:50 pm

Yes ... but I didn't rigorously test it. I tried it briefly and when I couldn't get anything out of it I decided to start with some basic stuff first to make sure the remote itself was operating and I could communicate with it etc.

I did notice the short length of the transmission immediatly though.
Appologies if I should have persevered for a bit longer with the installed upgrade first.
I was expecting the upgrade you loaded was probably the one you posted?
cheers

First thing I noticed was it acted as though there were some keymoves somewhere. i.e - codes OK but not all on correct keys.

Make sure the keymap is set to STANDARD in the General Tab. If this setting is missing from your general tab, download the corrected RDF from the RDF development area. If the keymap is set to alternate then all the functions in upgrades scramble, and the scrambling is dependent on the device number, so it can seem like the remote has gone completely bonkers.

Post by **The Robman** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 6:49 am

It appears the KM file had an out of date copy of the protocol, so I've just updated it.

I've also loaded the IR file which has the code pre-loaded on the AUD button:
