USB Infrared Toy / Re: IR Toy V2 orange light is ON all the time
I just registered because I had the same problem and got really frustrated until I fixed it.
The only way I could manage to flash the IR Toy's firmware to v22 was by plugging it into a Vista machine. There, the light turned off and the device registered as a USB HID. I executed the batch file for the firmware flash without entering any port and it finally succeded. No drivers from the package were required for that.
Maybe you can create a virtual machine if you don't have a physical machine with an older OS, like this dude did: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=7204#p61169
What I tried and did not work:
- Shorting the PGD and PCG pins
- Trying to flash on a Windows 8. and Windows 10 machine
- Installing a software which would create virtual COM ports for mapping them to the "broken" USB HID that my device manager showed, so I could try to direct the batch file to it
- Plugging the IR Toy in and out 20 times
- Forcing Windows to use the drivers
- Trying to flash to beta driver v23
If I had known this before, I would not have buyed it. Support seems to be disbanded (?). You are better off with another IR Transceiver I guess.
