JP1 Remotes

[DaleMac]

I recently replaced a URC7562 (B01) with a URC7562 (B00), only because of the limited number of remotes available in Australia.
I had to make some small changes to phantom key assignments in RM because the new remote has less phantom keys than the old one.
The problem is that when I run a macro with the AUD device as active (as set from IR), the CD key is the one that flashes, even though I don't have anything assigned to that key. I haven't put any CD commands on the remote at all.
When the macro has finished sending, the AUD device is the one left active as if the CD key was not used at all.
It isn't really a big deal, because the macro still works, but I find it annoying.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? I'd rather not have to create new a new upgrade file from scratch if I can avoid it.

Nothing is wrong. The B00 and the B01 are using different EEPROM addresses for storing the device key information. Look into the RDF.

[DaleMac]

Thanks for such a quick reply, but I'm not sure the problem is with the EEPROM addresses.
I actually did create a new ugrade file, now that I think more about it. I edited the devices for my VCR, DVD and AMP in RM and copied the device upgrades into IR, then wrote new macros.
The incorrect device key flashing only happens while it's running the macro. When I press VOL+, VOL- or mute (which are AUD VPT keys for my amp), the AUD device key lights like it should.
The CD key only flashes while it's sending phantom key assignments for discrete on and other functions for my amp as a delay while I'm waiting for the TV to start up.
Maybe I'll see what happens if I assign the phantom keys to a hard key and run it in a macro.

[DaleMac]

Tried it.
I set the "TV/SAT select" function for my amp on the number 8 key, then included it in the macro instead of the phantom 3 key.
When I run the macro, the "discrete on" which is assigned to a phantom key makes the CD device key flash once as it sends the signal. Then without a device change in the macro, the number 8 key sends the signal for "TV/SAT select" and makes the AUD device key flash while it's sending. Strange....

The problem is likely in the [Buttons] section of the RDF. Perhaps the CD and AUD buttons have their keycodes swapped?

From what I can tell, the [buttons] section for the device keys appear identical. The CD and AUD buttons are the same, $11 and $21 respectively.
The [DeviceButtons] are different and I changed them so that they were the same as the old remotes' RDF but it still acted the same.
But even if they were wrong, wouldn't the CD key flash whenever I wanted to use an AUD function instead of it happening only when I run an AUD command in a macro (and then, only with phantom or discrete functions)?
I wonder if I've got a remote that doesn't quite match the RDF.
I seem to remember getting the EM60EM60 signature from the battery cover on my old remote along with the B01. I don't know for sure because I don't have it. My wife threw it away when it got wet and wouldn't work anymore (at least, that's what she says happened).
The new remote has this written on the battery cover:

URC-7562 B00
C F9X CF-C0C9 DC

I tried to set up an extender for the remote, but having this problem is preventing some of the functions working at all when I put a macro on a device key.
How do I work out which RDF is the correct one? EBV0EBV0 or EVB0EBV1?

I've just added the file "DaleMac7562.zip" to the diagnosis area. It contains the IR file I've been having trouble with as well as the RM upgrade files for the devices I'm using.

[damir]

Plese can you test IR file I uploaded.

[DaleMac]

Thanks Damir, it works a treat.
Assigning the phantom and discrete keys to the CD device made the AUD key flash as they were sending. Functions appear to work fine.
I see what you did in the Keymove section of IR but I'm confused about the Device Button and Type columns in the general tab. Was that because the RDF doesn't quite match my remote signature?

[damir]

When executing keymoves remote is "flashing device type"
instead of "flashing bound device button".
So I changed the type of your 2023 upgrade from CD/Audio to DevType4 (on devices tab).
That required changing the device type in keymoves involving setup code 2023 and
type of setup code 2023 assigned to AUD button in general tab.

[DaleMac]

That makes sense.

Thanks again.

I'll delete the file from the diagnosis area now
