No RDF file exists for this remote. Either you or one of the JP1 experts will have to create an RDF file for your remote.
The first step in creating an RDF file is to create a file of the raw data currently stored in your remote. The second step is to start decoding it. In order to make sure you have some information stored in your remote, it is a good idea to manually create a macro in your remote using the instructions in the Manual. After you have at least one macro coded, you should download the data from the remote to your PC.
When IR give you the “No Definition File Exists” error and asks you if you wish to continue. Select Yes. Then go to the Save option under the File menu to save the download to a file. This saves the contents of the remote’s memory to a text file.
The next step is to upload this file to the Diagnostics folder of the Files section of the JP1 Users Group. After you have uploaded your memory dump to the Diagnostics folder, you should post a message to the Messages section asking for help in creating an RDF for your remote. You should be sure to specify the following:
· the name of your JP1 compatible remote
· the macro that you have programmed into your remote (specify the button it is programmed on and the string of buttons in the macro)
· the number of devices your remote supports and the setup code you have programmed for each one
· if the remote supports learning, be sure to learn a key before performing the download
· if possible, post a picture of the JP1 compatible remote to the Photos section of the JP1 Users Group
If you provide the above information along with the memory dump file, the JP1 experts should be able to create a starter RDF file for you very quickly and walk you through the rest of the process.
If you are familiar with hex dumps and enjoy a challenge, you can review the RDF file specification and attempt to decode the file yourself. This generally involves programming the remote manually, doing a dump, and then comparing the results to a previous dump to see what changed. This is a very time consuming process and is not recommended for beginners, especially when the JP1 experts are more than willing to help you if you have done your homework.
