Upgrading Your Remote Using the Keymap-Master Spreadsheet


Once you have found an upgrade file for your device that you would like to try, you should do the following:

·        Download the Keymap-Master spreadsheet from the Tools folder in the Files section of the JP1 Users Group.

·        Download the upgrade files that you would like to try from the ‘3. Device Codes’ folder in the Files section of the JP1 Users Group.

·        Read the JP1 for Beginners document to learn how to perform an upgrade using the Keymap-Master spreadsheet and the IR program, paying special attention to sections 5-7.  Note that the JP1 for Beginners document explains how to create an upgrade from scratch.  Since you are simply using/modifying an upgrade that someone else has already created, you will not have to do everything described in the document.

·        Read the Readme file that comes bundled with the Keymap-Master spreadsheet.

·        Open the Keymap-Master spreadsheet in Excel and enable macros.  Note, if you do not have the Microsoft Excel Analysis Tookpak installed, you will need to install it.

·        Load the upgrade file into the Keymap-Master spreadsheet using the Load button on the Setup tab.

·        On the Setup tab, select your remote name from the Remote drop down list.  If you want to, you can also change the Device Type and Setup Code.

·        Review the Functions assigned to each button on the Buttons tab.  Make any adjustments as desired.

·        Copy and paste the Device Upgrade Code on the Setup tab into IR.  Do the same with the Protocol Code if required.

·        Change the one of the devices on the General tab in IR to reference the new Setup Code you have just loaded into IR.

·        Upload the file from IR to your remote and test it.


Were any of the KM device upgrades successful in working your device?

Yes, I can now control my device.

No, none of the device upgrades that I tried work.
