JP1 Remotes

OK I got my FTDI cable.
Its connected as described to, using the 5 pins in a row style.
My Ubuntu Linux dmesg shows it's detected OK
But latest RemMaster208b1 running on Linux doesnt detect the remote...
What interface would this be considered?
Is it hooked up wrong... do the pins number 5..1 ?
TIA ...

thanks for the advice... but the channel buttons (and 0-9, others) are still all locked to the stb device...

So hopefully I can break all those lockdowns when I get my FTDI cable ?

JurgyMan!

If you want unlock the stb device try the following:

1. stb
2. press and hold set for two blinks ...

OK I ordered from alice1101983
that device:

Original 6Pin FTDI FT232RL USB to TTL RS232 Serial Adapter Cable for Arduino

How long it usually take to ship from Taiwan? Last thing I got direct from Taiwan was a mp4 player back in 2000s

When I said Legacy, I meant I have the original serial jp1 cable. Can I use this cable with the 2x3 to 1x5 adapter...

Or, do I need to get a usb-based 1.3/1.4 cable to use with the 2x3 to 1x5 ?

If yes to usb, whom on fleabay/other is selling a compatible one...

TIA, Jurgyman

I was using JP1 legacy many years ago... and still use an extended urc 8017 today.... though its starting to have sticky buttons and general age issues.

I've acquired a URC 2025B1-BB. Its used by a local TV provider. They have the TV functions (channels, navigate, etc) locked to their STB Device ...

Actually I have a few buttons that dont work:
- skipfwd / advance
- Recordings
- On Demand

any suggestions to get them working?

Actually I was incorrect, the download to my urc1060bc2 did not work.
The remote returned -1 message can't be ignored I guess.
This means I haven't had any success with my new ftdi cable yet.

What jp1 remotes do you recommend as "better on ebay" ?

using a newer protocols.ini file seemed to do the trick.
thanks!

so I am able to download to this remote...
using the FTDI cable I got off ebay from china.
Although it gives a message: remote returns -1

the download does seem to take though.

pity there is not an extender for this remote;
the macros are so slow...
and I would like to sneak some more devices ...

Can JP2 cables be used with older JP1 remotes?

I am finally getting around to trying this out...

I added a device upgrade based on IPN 4030MC.
I did change the X to 38.
Dev was already 36, sub-dev 128.
nokia32 proto.

However I do see the msg:
Upgrade Protocol Code Required but not available.


Also, I'm trying this on my new jp2 remote ...

Is this remote supported at all?
The 6-pin says jp2.
I have the original jp1 parallel cable.
Can I latest RMIR with that cable and that remote?
I'm getting No Remotes Found! message

Hey it does seem better with new batts. thanks!

What is the best JP1 remote out there and available?
I have the old parallel cable and dont want to upgrade

Funny how the evidence always points to the problem!
Thanks for spotting that. Thought I read (maybe IMIR) the extender was hidden so I didnt question it... Thanks and its working OK now.

Little disapointed with the 1054 in having to long press or press double to get my DVR622 to take commands ...
