JP1 Remotes

Thanks to the Experts for all their help. I tried jon_armstrong's latest posted protocol. The arrow keys are still a bit too fast (some intented single key press are sent twice) - the channel keys are not repeated which is fine. I changed the protocol now to the one posted earlier by jon with no key ...

Any news on this issue?

I just started 5 days ago on this and the results I achieved so far are just great. I have been working on it almost every day an hour or two and still have a long way to go if I want to make the remote to work exactly the way I want it to. You will need a very steep learning curve to start but then ...

Just one more thing regarding the arrow keys. On the original remote, it appears that with a long keypress there is a delay between the first frame and the second frame of the signal, e.g. in the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) if I press the Down Arrow the next item is selected, it stops, and then ...

Amazing has provided very convincing evidence that the original remote sends exactly one frame of the signal regardless of how long you press the button and that the receiving device relies on that behavior.

That depends actually on the button. On my original remote, all Channel Up/Down, number ...

Hi

I did some more tests: I used the upgraded 8811 on my two other sky digiboxes (Panasonic and Grundig) and it showed the same problem even though with the Grundig everything was a bit slower. I then upgraded my other remote 8910 with the same keys and that remote also had the same problems.

Guys ...

The file was uploaded, sorry - here is the link:

I did what you said: I learned the buttons with a single keypress and tested it straight away - the keypress worked fine, no matter how longed I ...

Hi Rob

Sorry, I did misread your sentence actually. I think I figured out the changing protocols while learning: The sky remote was probably in TV mode and later by going thru the buttons changed it to the Sky mode.

But that still doesn't explain the duplicate signals. In the codes learned today ...

I learned again a few buttons now but interestingly, this time they are all RC6-6-20. Maybe I had the remotes too close together yesterday....

Here is now the IR.exe Summary. I'll try programming these codes and let you know......

Amazing


24 DVD 1 RC6-6-20 0 0 1 T=0
25 DVD 2 RC6-6-20 0 0 2 T=0 ...

Do the learned signals work properly (ie, they're only sent once)?

Not sure what you mean. I did the learning as per manual, i.e. press as long as the 8811 blinks twice (and somewhere here on the board I read that's better than just pressing once). But I didn't get the learned signals to work ...

Hi

I bought the URC8811 from Rob (thanks for the speedy delivery!) and have now the following problem:

I programmed it for the Sky digibox dowloading the codes from yahoo. Protocol was RC6-20-0. But all signals I sent to the digibox were sent twice, e.g. I pressed Power, it went on and off; I ...
