USB Infrared Toy / TX features
I got my USB IR Toy today. First it didn't work, but after updating the firmware, it came to life. I can say that it's possible to update the firmware from Windows 7 box using XP mode at least. I was afraid of testing directly it, because of the warnings in the wiki, but I don't really see why it wouldn't work.
Ok, but then the real problem: Using WinLIRC to repeat the signal I recorded doesn't seem to work properly. A signal is sent I guess, because of the orange light, but the receiver doesn't register it. I tried with IRToyRecPlay too - the same. Also tried with EventGhost, but it won't even blink the light. Receiving works fine with all the methods.
Otherwise the toy looks promising.
PS. I finally made it to the forums. It seems my old account was banned because of spam? Now I tried registering and first I didn't receive the confirmation email, because of my mail provider sucking. Then I tried re-registering with an another email, it told me I couldn't register, because I was already registered from this IP. Well, then I tunneled myself thru an another box and then the security question was like "What's nine plus three" and according to the forum it's 11.
