JP1 Remotes

[dinomight]

Ok, so i have two remotes a rs 15-100 and a 6131 both using extenders. I've created my own device upgrade that will be used in conjuction with lirc and XBMC. I've got it working with the 15-100 and learned all of the buttons successfully. Now that i got that working i thought i'd use the same device upgrade on the 6131. I adjusted the button mapping since the 6131 and the 15-100 have a different set of buttons, but the codes coming out of the 6131 are different that the code coming out of the 15-100.
For example the up keys should send the same signal but on the 6131 it is sending the signal for the exit key. I can't figure out why this is happening. anyone have a clue. attached are the rm files and the ir files along with the lirc config. to see what the 6131 and 15-100 are sending respectfully you can look at the lirc config file. i did a second set of learning using the 6131 and the 15-100. you will see for example that up and exit match.
I'm about to the point of creating another custom device for the 6131 that doesn't overlap with the 15-100 codes but i'd rather not do this since each remote is controlling the same device.

The IR file for the 15-100 doesn't have this VCR 1060 Emerson Combo upgrade installed. I'm not sure which device you had learned with the lirc, but the first thing you need to do is get the same upgrade in both remotes.

Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

1060 is just the number i choose when creating the device upgrade in RM. If i go into IR and open the 15-100 the device upgrade is in there at the bottom list in the devices tab. Is that not what you are seeing? i know that i choose this protocol because i was able to get consistant readings(in lirc learning) using device code 0000 (which is built into the 15-100. This is the regular emmerson protocol. It didn't have enough buttons so i created the combo upgrade in rm. What do you mean that the device 1060 isn't in the 15-100? Oops i was just looking at the ir file i posted. (it was the wrong file.) I posted the correct ir file will you download the ir file again and look at it.

I see the problem. You have both upgrades set up using the 3 device emerson protocol, but that is not the same emerson protocol that is built into the 15-100, so you were told to add the required protocol upgrade, but you didn't. This causes all of the functions will be "off" in the 15-100 because the built in PID 0065 takes 4 bytes of fixed data, but the PID 0065 you used only takes 3 bytes of fixed data.

If you add the suggested protocol, things should work okay BUT if any of the other devices use the Emerson Protocol they will mis-function. If it were me, I'd rebuild the 15-100 rdmu to use the correct protocol, since this will use less upgrade area and it won't cause problems with built in emerson devices. This should be as easy as just picking the Emerson 4 device protocol from the dropdown on the 15-100's rdmu.

I can't believe i missed that ... it's funny how you can look at something over and over again and miss something every time. That did the job. Everything is working great. Thanks for your help.
