 |
|
Ok I recently got a usb cable from diygadget.com. I downloaded the latest IR6.20, rdf's, and usb driver from the files section and installed them. I tried and kept getting an "SDA Being Held Low". These are the 2 posts I made over here: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5384
| Quote: | I am getting this same problem when using a USB cable with my RS-2116. I have tried using both a ati xpress200m laptop, and an nforce4 based desktop, with the same results. I have tried with batteries, without batteries, with some batteries in backwards, with old batteries, with freshly charge ni-cd batteries, with the cable connected both ways, connecting the remote before plugging into computer, plugging in remote after plugging into computer, tried reinstalling the USB driver. Only thing I haven't tried was brand new alkaline batteries.
I have been successfully using my parallel interface for over a year, but since my new computers don't have that I want to try the USB cable. Anyone have any advice on what I might have missed? |

I did purchase this from DIYgadgets.com. So I would guess the thing is built right.
I must be missing something in the setup. Using IR6.20, RDF's, and the USB driver from the files section. Do the driver check thing and it says it is ok. |
Basically I tried everything I saw recommended without anything working.
So I then tried using IR5.05 which is in the package from the diygadget site and the interface checks fine and can download from the remote. So my question is:
Could I be missing a setting in the later versions of IR which are giving me this error?
Is there a special IR version number I should be using with the USB Interface? |

I don't know how many experts use USB cables, but my guess is that not many of them do. Speaking just for myself, I've never used a USB cable so I have no experience with them and cannot therefore offer any advice here.

You probably wont like this solution, but I had just purchased a parallel cable, then two weeks later I bought a new computer with only USB ports. I weighed my options and bought a parallel input card. ($10 at DIT Computers, $15 at Tigerdirect.com).

| Well thanks for the replies. I will try some more and wait for some updates, hoping it will work, or hoping I will find what I am doing wrong. |

I got the same problem but I was able to download from my RCU810 after charging the remotes NiMH batteries.
I have stop-ed using NiCd batteries completely now, they are so much better.
Try some fresh non rechargeable Alkine batteries, they have a higher voltage initially.
NiMh batteries can supply more current, so try both types.
