What Kind of Cable to Buy and Where to Buy It.

The WaveShare bare PCB option that you showed had a jumper that you could select 3.3V on the outputs. That seems like the safer option to me.

I can confirm that Waveshare board works. I can download info from remote in RMIR.

On Win10, just installed the latest drivers from FTDI, latest Java Runtime and the latest stable RemoteMaster bundle and it just works.

For Europeans:

I bought this cable and can confirm that it works without any problems under Windows 11.

Noob to all things JP1 here. I am located in Europe / Switzerland and I am looking to program All for One Contour IR remotes using a Windows 11 PC. I am wondering what would currently be the best cable to buy?

Basically, you need an FTDI cable (or a Prolific cable), then you just need to modify the connector. More info here:

Folks, would one of these work as a JP 1.3 cable?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PK5723H
https://www.amazon.com/DSD-TECH-SH-U09G ... B083HVM7VZ

I am leaning toward first one as it is cheaper and I can reuse the jumper cables.

I have a confusion about this page: https://hifi-remote.com/wiki/index.php/JP1_Cables

One image ("PinOut JP1.x") showing the 2x3 socket with a label of RST. It is actually RTS, right?

I would guess that all of the Amazon items you listed would work for JP1.

Yes, you spotted a typo.

Another Amazon option for you:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CX8VYF8P (Amazon Canada)

I purchased this one a couple of months ago for an unrelated project because I didn't want to cut up my nicely shrink-wrapped JP1 cable.
I just tested it now on one of my remotes and can confirm that it works fine.

The Amazon.com link is insanely long, so just search for "Waveshare USB to TTL (C)" on amazon.com if you are in the USA.
