JP1 Remotes

[oldgrouch]

JP1
Is it normal for the Delcom driver to be listed as Delcom Proxy rather than to
be shown as a comport such asxcom3 or com4.
If its not normal what procedure to I use to make it a comport rather than proxy?
Could this be possibly the reason that I keep receiving the message Open Device Failed (error=03) and not recognizing the remote.
I think that I have just about reached the end of the road in regards to the RS 15-1994 and will be going to the JP2/3 for future remotes but before I go to that I want to be sure that I have done every thing correctly.
I want to thank everybody who has tried to help me.
Thanks Lou

If it is listed as Delcom Proxy, that means you are using the WinUSB driver. That's the name I chose one late night to indicate that this driver is meant to replace the standard Delcom driver. Right click and look at the properties. On the Drivers tab, I expect you'll see that hifi-remote.com is listed as the provider and the date is 1/11/2010.

Go to the Details tab, and you should see DeviceInstance ID with value USB\VID_0FC5&PID_1222\xxxxxxxxxx. The x indicate numbers and letters specific to your computer.

Make sure that you are using IR8.03. The file date is 5/25/2010 5:08PM.

On the Interface menu item, select JP1 USB (the third choice). The click on Check Interface. What does it say? If it includes the word failed, please write exactly what it says. For example, I expect that it might say Last Error= 03 rather than Error = 03. This will help me see in the source code where things are going awry.

One more thing: Use RMIR 2.00 and on the Remote\Interface menu item, click on JP1 USB....
That should show you the VID, PID and Guid associated with the WinUSB driver.
The WinUSB Guid is {cafa8e93-7c32-4c27-b088-d8c36aaf4ebf}.

If instead you see {b5157d69-75f8-11d3-8ce0-00207815e611} (the older Delcom guid), then we've got some confusion in the driver setup.

I.R. version 8.03
learned signal decoder Decode(IR2.41)
exchange IR version 0.08
J12 serial driver version 0.16
cannot locate file date

Delcom proxy
provider date 1/11/2010 version 1.0.1.1
location 0 ( USB IO controller)
Device instant ID USB\VID_OFC501PID_1222\6&B2DF
CF6&0&3

Open Device Failed (Last Error=03)

I cannot supply the WinUSB Guid numbers untill I download the
maps.images & rfd to the RMIR and once that is completed.
Please advise if the Guid numbers will still be needed
Tks again Lou

On my computer (XP, SP3), if the Delcom cable is plugged in, I can see thr Delcom proxy stuff in device manager, and IR sees the interface.

If I unplug it, the Device manager window quickly removes it from the list of USB controllers list, and of course IR doesn't see it, returning OpenDevice Failed (LastError = 3).

If you unplug your Delcom cable, is it removed from the USB controllers list?

I still would like to see the GUID information, because it seems that Windows can see the interface, but IR can't.

I can't rememeber where WinUSB guid is Is that something in IR? RM? Registry?

My pid is slightly different. Where oldgrouch has 0fc501PID, I have 0fc5&PID - see the ampersand?

I'm watching, because I have a box where delcom failed but WinUSB works and am trying to square some info to maybe help.

Oldgrouch still hasn't told us what USB type is in the devices.

Also if being a limited user or standard user this might fail, though I'm not sure. That open device error could have to do with rights.

Oldgrouch, I feel your pain

Would you mind suggesting how to improve the instructions? Might save time for somebody else.

[The Robman]

Also, could you tell us what the problem turned out to be, as it might help us help the next person.

Glad you got it sorted, hopefully this will give you many more hours of happy JP1 programming!

I am not a tech writer,programmer I am just a mediocre computer person.

Installing the WinUSB driver in Windows XP

Ref 9A Click Have Disk button
I thought that a program disk CD was needed to install the driver until somebody told me the word Disk has multiple meanings it could mean like the "C" drive ,cd rom, ext h.d. etc.
So once I clicked the Have Disk button everything fell into place.
The bottom line read the instructions carefully and read 2-3 times to be sure that is my case.
Thanks again Lou
