Bus Pirate Support / Finding out RS232 commands from massage chair
Hey all I have a very quick question to ask about the Bus Pirate before i go ahead and order or not order it.

I am looking to get the RS232 commands from a massage chair. It has an ugly, bulky "box" of a controller that just doesn't look nice when looking afar at the chair itself. So me being a programmer, wanted to make myself my own GUI for the chair and be able to send the command to the chair.

Now there seems to be MANY types of these massage chairs that come from China. But under them all seems to be the same type of setup. I noticed this video http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjOfZ7uwmys of a factory that showed from start to end how a chair is made. The video spots that are most informative are [4:30-5:10], [6:35-7:28] & [8:00-8:20]. In all instances you can clearly see "COM xx" on the programs they use to test out the motherboard and remote control.





So, would the Bus Pirate be what I need in order to know what commands are being sent from the remote control to the motherboard?

USB Infrared Toy / IR Toy v1 not working in Windows 8
Hey all i am working with the Version 1 of the IR Toy and have been trying to get it to work in Windows 8.

Currently it just says "CDC Test" in the device manager.


And the info on that says:


When i update the drivers using these 2 files (from the USBIRToy.package.v22.zip):


It gives me this:


Could i be missing a step?

USB Infrared Toy / IR toy not recognized..
It was working then i disconnected it then after awhile i connected it back up and it said this:



Any way to check it and make sure its ok? The power LED stays on once i connect the usb cable. Also, i've tried to jumper the PGC and PGD pins together and then hooking up the USB cable and i get nothing in the device manager showing it sees it.

USB Infrared Toy / IR reader software
Is there anything that can read the IR codes via RS232 COM connection? I tried Hyper Terminal and also Tera Term and nether would output what the remote was doing.

I just want to be able to know what button was pressed so i can do whatever it is i need to do in response to it.

So as an example, if the user pushes a power button to turn on a A/V receiver the code may look like so:
Code: [Select]
 00  A1  00  D3  00  1B  00  19  00  1B  00  19  00  1B  00  4D  00  1B  00  19
 00  1B  00  19  00  1B  00  19  00  1B  00  19  00  1B  00  19  00  1B  00  4D
 00  1B  00  4D  00  1B  00  19  00  1B  00  4D  00  1B  00  4D  00  1B  00  4D
 00  1B  00  4D  FF  FF
Then i was check that code against my codes i already have and if it matches the receivers power button code then it would preform that one.

If there's an easier way of doing this then please let me know :) Although i don't want to use pre-made software like Ghost or something like that. I rather just get the code straight from COM and do with it as i need.

USB Infrared Toy / IRToyRecPlay v20 rc1 question (formally v0.7/0.85)
I am just wondering if there was a way to call only one .bin file to play?

Ex:
Quote
irtoy -d com8 -f test_000.bin -p -a 0
instead of
Quote
irtoy -d com8 -f test -p -a 0
If i have, say 5 .bin files in the same directory, then the second command there would play them all. What if i only want to use 000 instead of 000,001,002,003,004? It would seem like a feature like that would be very important to have already?

Thanks for your time,
