usb-uirt problem learning codes
When I point a remote at the usb-uirt (when not in learning mode) the red LED flashes. When I'm in learning mode and do the same thing the LED doesn't flash and there is no indication in housebot that it's receiving anything. I've tried this with multiple remotes with no luck. Any ideas? I'm using v2.02 of the plugin and the firmware on my usb-uirt is 5.9. I've also tried 3 different USB ports with no luck.

I've done as recommended in the help (hold the remote 3" away). I've tried anywhere from less than an inch to over half a foot away and nothing happens. However, as long as HB isn't in learn mode, the red LED flashes on the usb-uirt. As soon as I put it in learn mode the LED doesn't flash anymore (with the remote at the same distance).

I had the same problem using the Irnhelper utility. I then emailed Jon and he told me where to specifically point the remote and that when the usb-uirt is in learn mode it only works in a really small range. It turns out I could only get it to work when I held the remote just slightly over an inch away and pointed at one specific 1/8" area of the front of the usb-uirt! Now that's picky! But, at least I know what I have to do now. Of course, it kind of stinks that it's so picky for a task that can be so repetitive (programming all your remotes and all the buttons on the remotes). Oh well.
