JP1 Remotes

I recently bought this cable:

I'm trying to get it to work on a 64-bit Windows 8 box. Are there any USB drivers for this type cable that will work with Windows 8? Or do I need a cable with an FTDI ...

cbutkus, I attempted to create an upgrade with a protocol that sends an upgrade.

I've zipped a PB file and an RDMU file together to get you started. Normally I would test this prior to posting, but you know my situation.

I ...

As I said this sounds like either a duration problem or a toggle problem. Many protocols send a minimum number of frames. If you tap the up arrow you only get one frame, no dittos. Read about G.I.Cable{1}. I think if we tweaked the protocol to put out at least one ditto, the signal would behave ...

Well, here it is. Let me know if anything is obviously wrong. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to wait until you get your new jp1.2/1.3 cable :(

Good luck in getting your email straightened out.

RC5 is the name of one of the known protocols. Its a very common protocol. If you are using an upgrade, then you'd look at your KM or RM file to find out what protocol it uses. If it is a built in setup code, look it up in the lookup too l to see what protocol it is shooting.

Toggling comes in ...

This sounds more like a "duration problem" or a "toggle problem" than a "slow macro" problem.

Because this is on the short side of a lkp, its getting the minimum number of repeats.

If the setup is using a toggling protocol like RC5, then the toggle might be getting out of whack.

What do you ...

Thanks for the fast reply! It was only an issue with the LKP stuff as the regular button press became way too slow. Otherwise the macros are fine. It's a great remote and a great extender :)

Thanks again!

When you say the regular buton press became way too slow, does that mean slow to start. Do ...

Anybody have any experience with this remote? Does if have the jp1 connector? Is it jp1.3 compatible?

Thanks.

Thanks again!

I'm using the beta extender for the 8820N and I seem to have everything working fine except that the macros don't seem to run as fast as my previous remote (RCU810).

Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation of the remote and/or the extender?

Thanks in advance!

So is there any documentation about how to create an extender? I've been a C++/Java programmer for about 15 years now and have also done some assembly. I wouldn't mind taking a stab at writing an extender.

I did a search of the forums, but came up empty. I'm not sure how much time I'll have, but I ...

FYI, I'm using extender 2, which doesn't say anything about supporting DSM, LKP, or TOADTOG.

After looking through many posts and documents. I'm still not sure whether or not I can use DSM, LKP, and Toadtog with the RCA RCU810 remote.

Any help/pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks.
