JP1 Remotes

I can't seem to get the Delcom USB driver to load. I remember having to trick my system the first time I installed it, but can't remember the details. After a system crash I need to reload the driver. As it is, IR.exe won't recognize my JP1.2 serial interface.

Please help

The JP1.2 serial cable doesn't need a Delcom USB driver.

There are now three versions of the Delcom driver for JP1 USB cables in the file section:

1) This is the 10/19/2006 version from the DIYgadget.com site:

2) This is the 03/03/2007 version that has been in the file section for a while:

3) This is the 02/12/2008 version, downloaded today from the Delcom site:

I must be forgetting something, since IR always fails the check interface. When I had this problem originally, I vaguely remember fixing it by installing the Delcom driver. If this is not used what might I be doing wrong?

I did remember that there was a conflict originally with Activesync. I killed that process, but still am having problems getting IR.exe to verify the JP1.x interface connected to by OFA 10820 remote.

Com1 and Com2 set to 38400 baud, 8 bit, 2 stop, no parity, no flow/handshaking.

Any ideas of why IR.exe can't communicate?

You should try a loop-back test using Hyperterminal or some other comm port testing utility, somewhat along the lines explained in Section E of this download:

Do you have a serial (DB9 plug) or USB interface cable?

When you go to the menu and choose "Driver Status" what is reported? i.e. what does the dialogue box actually say?

Then when you choose "Check Interface" what doe it say?

IR may "always fail to check the interface" if you have the Menu item "Interface...Auto Check" un-ticked.

Thanks for the help.

The link to TestGroup, http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=4457, did not work and should be replaced by http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=4992 and http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=4459.
