Woo hoo - I got it working and I'm psyched

Hey all. I just got my USB cable and figured out how to use IR to download my remote (and upload a fresh image after I screwed up my remote). I also figured out how to remap the select key to the TV/VCR button! This rocks!

So why am I posting in the software section? Well, now that I have a decent ...

Ok, got it working - sort of. I now have the USB cable working, so it's just a matter of finding and uploading the right file to the remote - yeah!

I bought a USB cable from filebug. I accidentally plugged it in backwards (their cable should point to the top, not the bottom like the rest of the interfaces :( ). I realized my mistake and turned it around. When I tried to talk to the remote, I got a communication failure. I tried a download ...

How is IR.exe different from RM.exe?

I found libDelcom.pas in the IR.exe tarball. This contains the Delcom USB communication code. In the USBIODS.pdf (Delcom's DataSheet on the USB chip) pg 7, it states that commands are sent to the chip using DeviceIOControl Windows function in the Setupapi.dll ...

Where is the USB communication code in the current PC system - application and file?

I'm a Mac developer interested in this software. But, I just stumbled onto this whole thing tonight, so I'm completely unfamiliar with "RM", "IR", etc. What I have looked at is that on the PC there are Decode_IR ...
