Seems to be alot of older threads which mention that LIRC needs to be patched in order to support the IR Toy. But it appears that a newer version of LIRC which is not in the repos (needs to be compiled yourself) supports it, correct?
I think I flashed my firmware to v22, but I was wondering if there was a way to verify what firmware you have (from Linux, I hate Windows).
Also, if anybody has a newer method for LIRC+RPi+IRToy that works today, can you please let me know?
