It should be positive logic: > 1 is o/c transistor is OFF (high voltage to input pin), 0 is transistor ON (0V > to input pin). My explanation was not very correct - Sorry. I guess it's positive logic (see below), I just wanted to say that the AJB input stays high, when everything is disconnected (should be, because of the pull-up inside the archos that you mentioned). Well I did some measurements now with oscilloscope, maybe they could be helpfull. I'm still sending 9600 Bd, 8DB, 1SB, no parity. Sending 0xC2 results in the following (measured directly at the AJB input): start level is high (3.3V), then it goes: 200us low 110us high 410us low then high for ever Assuming a time grid of 100us, that would end up in: 0 0100 0011 putting it the other way round (it was LSB first) 1100 0010 0 that is 0xC2 with Stop Bit =0 (why that ?) I tried inverting 0xC2 and sending ~0xC2=0x3D, just to see what happens: start level is high (3.3V), then it goes: 100us low 100us high 110us low 420us high 200us low then high for ever Again the calculation: 0 1011 1100 other way round 0011 1101 0 that is 0x3D with Stop Bit =0 For me that seems to be perfectly good (w/o knowing the time frame for 9600 Bd and the Stop Bit=0 stuff) > The REMOCLONE only uses 6 bits, but my remote sends 8 - from the JBR's > point of view, there's little difference, since the two extra bits have the same > value as the stop bit (1).

However, there's nothing to stop Rockbox defining a "One-Touch > Record" command. I just had a look in the UART registers, but there is no way to configure the UART for 6DB's otherwise I would have tried that :-(( > > If I'm sending the 0xC2 stop command while a file is playing, the AJB > > does not react. > > As we've discussed offline, my remote send 0xC2 and a playing song stops > as expected. I suppose it's working with your Recorder (??, that's what you have, isn't it ?). Could there be any difference in Recorder and Studio Rockboxx ??? > > If I have backlight dimmed down, I can observe, that the backlight goes on. > > That again tells me, that the AJB is receiving data, but still does not react. > Without looking at the Rockbox source, it could be that the backlight goes > on as soon as a start bit transition is received - it may not indicate > correct reception of a command. Hmmmm........arrrghhhh.... > Do you have the ability to tweak the bitrate of your UART? Just in case > your timing is marginal? Until now I never had any problems acc. to that. Maybe my measuremenst are helping you. Assuming 9600 Bd, what pulse widths for one bit should I get (so I'll try to tune the uC's baud rate generator) ?
