I was using IR TOY V2 on windows 7 x64 with latest winlirc. I had trouble where the IR toy sometimes was just unresponsive and disableing/ enabling from device manager would not help, so I could only make it work again if I would unplug the irtoy and reattach it again to the usb cable.
So i came to this "genious" idea to use a 2 male usb to female usb where 1 male would be for power and 1 for data. In this way I could attach 1 male to a power supply / power adapter and 1 to the pc. This way I could power the IR toy on and OF using a wall smartswitch.
First I tried it on the pc using 2 ports and it seemed to work prefectly. Then I tried a 5v 0.7A wall adapter by cutting the wires and connect them to to the + and - of the male usb cable, to see if this would work.
So 1 male in the pc (data) and 1 male attached to the power supply and female to IR TOY V2. At first nothing worked. Strange? I tought. So then I realised that I may have reversed the + and the - of the power supply. STUPIDD!!! So I think now the IR toy is broken.. Could that be the reaason? Or is it hanging in some sort of state? Or was 7v 0.7A to much for the IR TOY?
What Can I do? I still have another IR toy but i don't want to risk breaking that one also... Or is there a way I can make the broken IR TOY live again? Any help is apprecieated.
Great :S Since i have 0% programming knowledge i will not able to do this. Can one of you guys help me out if i send my remote config and the cpp file? :P
[quote author="dukey"]What if you send the same code twice or 3 times? I am not sure the toggle bit flips when sending. It might be that[/quote]
If i send the code more then twice it picks it up but sometimes it even flips a bit and reacts like it picked it up more then it was sent. So for instance i press channel up = it zaps, when i send it again = nothing then again = it zaps two channels, send again = nothing.
But it's not just that. Like i said in my previous post. I am not even able to send a sequence of numbers. If i want to send 250 for instance i send 2, 5 and 0. It should open 250 but it just goes to either 5 or 0 or 25 or 0.
First of all i want to say hello to everyone since i just registered.
Im a proud user of IR TOY V2. I've been using it for two years now. But i have some issues with it.
I used WINLIRC to record the remote signals of my Humax STB, it recorded it correctly but when sending the signals IR TOY/WINLIRC sends the signals to fast or to short? So i can send one signal once but not twice, to do so i need to send a different signal first to be able to send the same signal egain EG:
1. I send channel up. If i want to send channel up again i first need to send exit and then channel up again. If i sen channel up twice the second time the stb just wont pick up the signal. 2. If i send the following signals 3, 4, 5 i expect it to go to channel 345. Instead of doing this it just jumps to either 34, 35 or 5 or stays at 3.
So what should i do? I already tried to record the signals all over again, this did not help.
