USB Infrared Toy / Re: ir toy v2 firmware update not working plz help

I tried changing the file name. Same result. I would guess you're right that its hardware. I wish there were a way to scan the hardware to test it.

Yes I had them all in that directory.

What/which filename are you referring to that could be wrong?

Thanks for all you help. I really appreciate it.

Fyi I downloaded your program, and i'm exited to use it to look at ir codes if I can get this hardware working

If I run that command I get:

Run it in what? The fw_update program closes before I can do anything. And the command doesn't work in command prompt. As for drivers it says it only needs the .ini file which is correct.

I have also tried opening bootloader (which seems to be a a.exe too) with the same result as fw_update

It is in the same folder. I'm opening that file and it asking me for a port number. I have also tried opening fw_update.exe (a program) to see what it does but after giving permission it opens what looks like command prompt and then immediately closes

I don't know what command to run. I know little about this kind of thing. I barely know what a code is in this case. I'm a very new Newby just trying to learn.

I just clicked on the file: Update-usbirtoy.v22 from the what I read, I thought that would load the firmware into my USB irtoy v2

Could you please help me understand the correct procedure?

This is the instructions I tried to follow:

http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/USB ... are_update

This is what I did. I jumpered pgc/pgd, connected it via USB to my computer, ran the .bat file corresponding to the firmware I wanted to upgrade (v22).

What happened next is in the original post.

Please help. Thanks.

Can anyone help me here? Please?

USB Infrared Toy / ir toy v2 firmware update not working plz help

I have a usb ir toy v2. it never worked, but I thought I would see if I can reinstall the firmware. I jumpered the two pins and the light came on. excellent

so I am trying to follow the instructions,

the toy is at port_#0002.Hub#0003 (good, its showing up)

im running update-USBIRToy.v22 (windows batch file)

it opens the window, and asks me what port its on.

I have tried #0002, 2, 0002, port_#0002.Hub#0003, and many others.

I always get:
-----------------------------------------------
Could not open com port.
Once the device has entered boot loader mode
Press any key to continue . . .
-----------------------------------------------------

I have installed the .inf driver in windows. which has apparently "determined that the driver software for your device is up to date".

im running windows 8.1 64bit on a slate pc, windows 7 64bit on a desktop, and windows 7 32bit on a laptop. I get the same on all of them.

if I remove the jumper, the orange light will sometimes go off (and stays off when plugged into another computer) when moving it between computers, I think it may be something to do with sleep mode on my tablet. when the light is off it does not show up as a device at all.

im keen to use this to analise IR codes. I would really like to get it working. especially since I spent more on shipping than the device

thanks heaps,

-Morgan
