Do U C anything obviously wrong with my homebuilt jp1 cable

I can't get my cable to work with my remote. "No response from interface."

Please take a look and tell me if you immediately spot something wrong with this cable...

I used the instructions here: http://www.hifi-remote.com/jp1/simple/

For your consideration, I also have an 8800 Producer 8 remote if that lends anything to a diagnosis.

Thanks for your help!

Have you tried both with and without batteries in the remote?

Right off the bat I notice that you're using 10k resistors, where the current spec calls for 1k resistors.

The most up to date spec is here...

Hi. Right off the bat :) *I* noticed you should consider cutting the resistor leads a little shorter or using some heat shrink tubing the next time. If component leads touch each other or touch a metal casing, they will short.
