JP1 Remotes

Do I need a soldering iron or any other tools? A multimeter? (I have nothing.) Is there a doc posted here that tells me what I need? The remote is at my in-laws' place and I won't be back there for a couple weeks, unfortunately.

Yes the remote is operational with the cable connected, and the LED flashes.

The output doesn't look promising. "Got no response" is printed after each test. During the test the remote blinks twice. When I unplugged the cable it also blinked twice. Here's the link to the output:

995 worked for reprogramming the "On Demand" button. Thanks for that. I'm still interested in making the PC interface work, though. Do you think it would be worthwhile to buy and try a JP1.1 cable? Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks to all.

To reset I tried holding down setup until it blinked twice and then typing 981. I also used 982. No change.

Is there a way to program macros for keys like the "On Demand" key without the PC interface, using some kind of key press sequence?

Thanks Tommy.

I already did a manufacturer reset once, I think, which left several of the buttons unprogrammed ("On Demand" and "Live"). It was the only way I could get the remote to work with both the Scientific Atlanta box and my DVD player. I can do it again. Perhaps you could remind me of the ...

The built-in modem seems to be COM3, and the Bluetooth device seems to be on the USB bus, and not assigned to a COM address. The serial port is COM1. The settings are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control.

Again the blinking lights make me think there's a connection, even though I'm ...

I downloaded jp1xtest and ran it. The remote blinked one long blink and then 2 short blinks (on the "cable" button). The program then reported "no JP1.x compatible remote found!"

I don't have a multimeter or really any familiarity with electronics below the software level, so I'm not able to do the ...

Yeah it's 7.03. I just downloaded all the latest stuff. There are two versions of jp12serial.dll that I found. One is packaged with IR 7.03. The other is included with RemoteMaster.v1.81.zip. The RM one looks later. I tried both and get the same error, however.

I clicked "download from remote" in ir and I got two long blinks and one short blink on the "cable" button. Then ir gave an error message: "Failed to open JP1.x interface". I'm not sure what to try next. Any thoughts?

I'm getting the same error using the DIY cable. When I click "download from remote" in ir the remote's "cable" light blinks 2 long blinks and one short blink. Then I get the error message: "Failed to open JP1.x interface". If I plug it in upside down nothing happens, so I don't think that's it.

The ...

I recently got a Comcast remote that looks to be a URC-1067bx3, at least that's my best guess based on this page http://www.urcsupport.com/index.php .

In the files section there's a file that appears to be an RDF for this remote. http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=category&cat_id=44 ...

That did the trick. Window=Aspect. Thanks much.

Just curious: what did the "window" button do?

Anybody have a TiVo 3 and a learning JP1 remote? I need the code for the "aspect" button.

Thanks much!
