JP1 Remotes

just bought an XSight Lite (URC8610) as it was only a couple of pounds more than a 7557 (£22.99) - my 7555 power button has crapped out and I thought I'd bad flashed my 7780 (now rescued :) )

It's not a touch screen and doesn't have shifted functions - they all have to go on the screen which means ...

Well mine is made from an electronic coin mech routing plug and I found I had to bodge together two of them with a 6 pin dual header attached to an idc type plug as the newer URC-7555 and URC-7780 have small apertures and are keyed differently. See my links to photos in the HCS08 JP1.2 thread (p8 ...

another benifit over a chopped up EIDE cable is that the connector is longer and easier to grab out of my RCU810 but it works great.

Since communications between a JP1.x remote and the interface are standard RS232 serial format, it SHOULD be possible to use a USB-to-serial adapter with the interface. This is important, because many members do not have an available serial output on their laptops. And has been mentioned before ...

Now I have a working rdf for my URC-7555 (thanks to Binky123) I've successfully uploaded an upgrade and downloaded from the remote using the USB to Serial cable attached to a JP1.x serial cable.

I've found I get the occasional 'unable to find jp1.2 interface' error but this s easily solved by ...

Try here

Try selecting JP1.x rather than serial. The Serial selection is for the JP1 interfaces not the JP1.2. IIRC, the JP1.2 interface only works on COM1.
Actually I've used IR7.0 with a USB to serial interface on two different computers one with Com3 and the other with Com4.
I built the interface in ...

RDF now working thanks to binky123 who also found the reason for the above problem which is in the way IR70beta handles devices with learned commands.
edit: Added setting into rdf which fixes this.

Modified rdf with working upgrades now uploaded.
still a problem with learned commands all assigned to DVD on download and TV on upload

Here is the correct [Protocols] section for the URC-7555 RDF:
[Protocols]
0000, 0002:5, 0006, 000D, 0010, 0011, 0013, 0014, 0018, 001C,
001F:8, 0020, 0027:new, 002A, 002C, 0034, 003D, 0045, 004A, 004B:7,
0051, 0057, 0058:2, 005A, 005C, 005D, 005E:2, 005F, 0064, 0065:2,
0066, 0068, 006A, 006C, 0073 ...

I think as this is a European model that the protocols are likely to be the same as in a 8206 Kameleon. US models don't seem to have the $015e protocol necessary for UK IRDA cable remote emulation.
I tried an upgrade but though it seemed to upload OK when I downloaded from the remote to check it ...

A couple things....
1) I think you'll have to remove the line marked "AdvCodeFormat=EFC" so RM will correctly format the long key moves as Greg just recently updated in RM v1.65
2) Your protocols section doesn't have all the variants updated as well. I'm not sure it this applies to the 7555, but ...

Provisional rdf now being tested.

I can now confirm that the JP1.2 interface works for downloading and uploading with a USB to serial lead.
The lead used was a generic lead with a Prolific PL2303 chipset using the latest Prolific driver files.
Tested with a URC-7555 OFA5 remote.
