Oh, by the way, this was good advice:

Incidentally, and here I'm trying to be helpful, not rude; a little punctuation, capitalisation, and spellchecking would help people understand your questions better, and make it more likely you'll get good help. I had to read your last post 3 or 4 times just to understand what you were asking.

Yes, but I think this was probably better:

people talk about stuff I hadn't even got a clue that it exists yet which all the help files have to be looked for to find anything which can be exhausting as they're not all in one help file either
even reading there is a way of reading signals via usbuirt and don't get that yet as that would be easier as well as in a remote file that is missing keys mapped learning and retreiveing that signal would be far better than interpreting its code |
not heeding advice bad not sure why they suggest it youdid all theyask and they stil harp on you mabye music school dropouts.
yeah read the ir with usbsquirt then read the ufc don't know why they call it that sounds like mix martial arts put the ufc in kfc then paste in irs and upload to remote.
you go girl don't let the haters get you down |

My old favorite, rcreplay, I wonder what he's doing now. I wonder if we'll see him at the AVS 10 year re-union. He was one of a kind, even Chelli can't match his posting style. _________________ Rob

This thread is getting a bit old now, but I would like to offer a few words of consolation to Michelle.
The basic question posed by Michelle is something I myself have been pondering for a while. I really think the learning curve is a bit steep for a JP1 beginner. People are different, have different backgrounds and interests. Some are hackers by nature and love this kind of stuff, others just have a problem with getting a remote to do as good a job as possible to control their equipment (that's me - except I really do have some background in electronics and programming too).
But I also understand the contrary arguments. But anyway, I really would have liked to see a complete, integrated program suite. One that I could open, and find menus, buttons or whatever that would take me to the various operations. And a comprehensive help file, and maybe context sensitive help.
It would make things much easier for a beginner if a complete package containing all(?) that one needs to get started were available. A package that you just could install, and after installation you could plug in your JP1 or JP1-x remote and begin doing what it is all about.
Maybe that may come true sometime in the future, but in the meantime maybe threads like this may be of some consolation.
Cheerio,
Dreamzapper |

Eventually we will get to that point. At some point RM will incorporate all of IR's function, so all that will be needed is RM (along with the RDFs, Images, and Maps). But getting there takes time since all JP1 tools are developed, maintained and enhanced by volunteers who get no financial reward for their work and who have other things going on in their lives that are more important than this hobby.
Once RM replaces both KM and IR, getting a single package will be much easier, and RM might even be enhanced to download, install, and keep-up-to date the RDF, Images and Maps. _________________ -- Greg

I am glad to hear that. Having done quite a good deal of programming myself, I know any programmer worth his salt would think along the same lines. We all however have to make sacrifices to the realities of real life. At 77, I guess I am through with programming, but I kept expanding, modifying, extending and improving a program I started with DOS-based Foxbase, later moving to the Windows Visual Foxpro platform - for just one client. l retired at 62 so I had enough time on my hands and I did it mostly for fun. It certainly didn't make me rich... In the end, the Internet made my program obsolete. |
