is OARN08G a JP1.x remote?

[The Robman]

The 10 pad thing is probably for some sort of diagnostic testing by UEI, so I have no idea if any of the pads are equivalent to the pins on the normal 6-pin. Dolivas, if you're still willing to take pictures, could you do so, as that might give us some idea of what the pads are for and whether there's room for a 6-pin connector anyway.

I think UEI would put the 6-pin on all their mid to high end remotes if they could, but their hands are often tied by what the client wants.

There is supposedly a remote called the SmartControl in the pipeline that does have a 6-pin connector.

SmartControl appears to be the OARI06G which Rob has already confirmed won't work with IR

Then there must be more than one SmartControl.

In the OARI06G thread, Rob mentions that the UK and US versions will be different and the SmartControl link is obviously UK, so that may be why there seems to be conflicting info.

UK version you're talking about? Labelled as the URC 7960.

Bad News guys the OARN08G also does not have any JP1.x connector... I will try to get you guys some pictures soon going out of town for a week.

Had to crack it open before I left town and it has the same 10 pads and is also marked JP2

So why does UEI put 6 pin connectors on any of their remotes? Does for example Comcast do any custom programming or clean up of returned remotes?

I can see that the 6 pin connector is very cheap, but aside from our community, which customers derive benefit from the connector?

They are easy to add codes to, if they are assembled and have the programming pins directly available.

So did anyone ever get pictures of the board? Looking at Rob's new 'market place' it is clear we are really short of decent remotes! Seems like this JP2 thing is going to become more and more prevalent.

Any pics yet?

[dolivas27]

Sorry guys for the long delay in getting the pictures posted here they are for both remotes. Let me know what you guys think and I will try to see if we can talk to the remotes.

Very interesting thanks!

What do you guys think? I almost wonder if the JP2 isn't just an optional component rather than the programming interface...

That's what it looks like to me too.

It is for a connector, not a component

Code: Select all

1   2
3   4
5   6
7   8
9   10

1	 TCK		 Test Clock
2	 GND		 Ground
3	 TDO		 Test Data Output
4	 VTref     Target Voltage Reference
5	 TMS		 Test Mode Select
6	 nSRST	  System Reset
7	 NC		  Not connected
8	 NC		  Not connected
9	 TDI		 Test Data Input
10	GND		 Ground

It is for a JTAG connector? That is certainly interesting - how did you gleam this (if you can tell us).

So guys is this something we can talk to or are we SOL have three of them here ordered for testing....
