It looks like there’s a major bug in IR Toy firmware v1.04. After a few days it stops working. We have not seen this bug in the lab, if you have an example please let us know how it happened (died suddenly, on startup, etc) and the operating conditions (mode, etc). v1.04 has been deprecated and removed from the recommended downloads at Google Code.
So far this seems limited to the v1.04 firmware, if you have this problem with a v1.02 firmware please let us know.
People with this bug report that the IR Toy can be revived with the bootloader:
- Connected the PGC and PGD pins (or via holes) before plugging in the IR Toy. Contact is only needed at power on, so a temporary connection is fine.
- Plug in the IR Toy USB cable. The LED should turn on.
- Use the v1.02 firmware package to upload the v1.02 firmware.
- Replug the USB cable to reset the IR toy after the update.
Illustrated upgrade instructions are in the documentation wiki.
We’ll try to get this straightened out and release a new firmware this week.
