Hi, I spent the last few of days tearing my hair out trying to create a simple device upgrade for a Bose soundbar - only 3 keys - how hard can it be

RM 3.2.11 could not create a working upgrade using the Bose protocol and the 3 OBCs I learned, but eventually I discovered that RM2.04 could, so used that to finish my project.

After some digging around in protocols.ini I found that for the Bose protocol:

RM 2.04 has "CmdTranslator=Translator(comp,0,8,0)"
RM 3.2.11 had "CmdTranslator=Translator(lsb,comp,0,8,0)"

Not sure when it changed or why, but removing "lsb" fixed the problem for me.

Posting incase this might help someone else.

Cheers and a million thanks to everyone who helped helped create and support this project over the years.
