Hiyas

When I attempt to program the offline codes in girder I get this error message
"Unable to program GPIO Cfg into UIRT!"

I'm using firmware 1.7, with the 1.7 plugin.
girder 3.1.3c.

I am to able to recieve codes consitantly within girder, i.e. i can setup commands etc.
But what I really want is my WOL working, but can't seem to program the offline codes

Thanks for any help!

I should also add I didn't program the pick using ICSP but a pic programmer that connects to the pc.
I've got no idea what it is called etc because I did all this with my Father at his house.

I don't know if the ICSP does anything special that we didn't do.
I think I can program the eeprom memory directly with his programmer too, so would it be possible to some how preset my codes via his programmer?
i.e. look at what girder calls them and plug them into the memory that way.. kinda dodgy, and would have to do some hex conversions no doubt, but might work

Thanks all!

Well I solved my own problem.

I discovered that soon after I had troubles programing the offline codes, the whole unit stopped working "right".
For instance when i pressed a remote button, it took a good second for the code to appear in girder and then it was random.

After *many* hours off frustration I discovered the problem!
It was the new "low power" light bulb I had just replaced in my ceiling!!!!!!!!!
obviously its sending IR and screwing up my UIRT development!!

So now I have to work in the dark, but then, its just like being at work (ha ha)

I find it amusing now..
