This is not the correct workflow for RMIR, for a number of reasons.
You might start with an initial download from your remote, to which you make some changes, and then upload to the remote. When you're done you should ALWAYS save to a .RMIR file.
When you come back to make more changes, open the saved .rmir file and make changes with that as your base, instead of downloading from the remote again.
For most users, the only reason for downloading is to examine learned signals in order to create a device upgrade. But once the device upgrade has been finalized, you want to add it your previously saved .rmir file.
There are other situations where we download from remotes, such as when we encounter a new remote and need to create an RDF for it. |
Thanks for the tips. Anyway, rmir sees the remote and reads it which shows all my connections are correct but it is not taking the writes. After i program it, i try a read immediately after and it just goes back to what it was before the upgrade was applied. Now when i unhook it, no buttons are responsive which is telling me data on it is likely corrupt. Yes i tried new batteries. |

I wonder if it's writing the wrong checksum, look for the following entry in the RDF...
[Checksums]
*$0000:$0002..$0BFF/2
and try changing it to ...
[Checksums]
*$0000:$0002..$0BFF/4 _________________ Rob

$0000:$0002..$0BFF/4 Did it. The remote is alive and responding to all of the upgrades. I erased the remote with 9-8-1 and tried again to be sure and it took fine. My blood pressure can finally drop a bit now haha. Thanks for your help. |

Great, I just updated my copy of the RDF too. I've not seen one before that needed the /4 setting. _________________ Rob
