USB Infrared Toy / Re: USBIRToy not working in SUMP mode
I'm still having trouble getting it to compile in MPLAB-X It says it can't find the source files, even though they are listed in the project pane. Is there some particulary directory structure I need to reorganize them into?

USB Infrared Toy / Errors compiling firmware.
after failing to compile from the source bundle I did a svn checkout of the entire open hardware repo, and opened the USBIRToy.X project in MPLAB-x.
It gives me a lot of project load errors. and can't seem to find any of the sources.

It's probably something obvious like setting a configuration or something. A clue?

USB Infrared Toy / Re: USBIRToy not working in SUMP mode
****EDIT*** Never mind. The product page only pointed to the compiler, and it looks like you need the IDE as well.
Downloaded and now opened the project. I'm having a little trouble finding  prj_usb_config.h

Is this a microchip "system" file? because I can't seem to find it in the source bundle.

***original***
This is totally intriguing! I'm mostly an avr guy. Are there any pointers for setting up the compiler environment on windows?
I downloaded mplab, but don't see makefiles etc in the source bundle.

An alternative would be a hex file, though it's about time I dipped back into pic land. (I have a super old dev kit)

USB Infrared Toy / Re: Any luck with Windows 8?
Never mind!  There's apparently something noisy/weird that blocks the usbirtoy coming from the device I was trying to debug (lazertag teamops)

I'll try to post exact instructions on the unsigned driver install soon. (though you can google the error message, and get a pretty good description.)

USB Infrared Toy / Any luck with Windows 8?
I managed to disable driver signing, and got it to work with OLS exactly once, now it captures without any input (flat line)
I tried uninstalling and re-installing, and no love.

I took it back to a windows 7 machine, and everything (ols capture, winlirc) worked fine.

USB Infrared Toy / USBIRToy not working in SUMP mode
Hi, I could swear that this was working before, but I'm having problems now.
I upgraded the firmware to v.22, and I'm using ols 0.9.6.1 (also tried 0.9.5)

For a sample source, I've tried an air conditioner remote, and tv-b-gone.

It appears to capture (led blinks in time with the tv-b-gone) but the graphed signal is all low.
any clues?

Addendum: I tested it in Winlirc and it works fine there. including irgraph, and rawir.
Also went back one more ols version to 0.9.4 and no good there either (flatline!)

Project logs / Stackable 'duino for the Raspberry Pi
We've gotten our first prototypes back and they are working well.

There's a complete writeup on my blog:
http://baldwisdom.com/introducing-raspb ... a-la-mode/

Flexible power. Can be powered directly from the Pi, standalone with a battery or wall-wart, or USB power. This is important if your shield takes more power than the Pi can provide or if you want to undock it for standalone operation.
Programmable via the Pi’s UART on the GPIO pins, or an FTDI USB-Serial adapter or ISP.
Header for connecting Fastrax UP501 GPS.
DS3234 Real time Clock. The Pi doesn’t have it’s own battery backed RTC. You can set a program in the AlaMode to report the time to the Pi via serial or I2C
Micro-SD card slot. Useful for datalogging, and big-memory for your Arduino applications
Row of Servo Headers connected to the PWM pins with a configurable power and ground rail

Dangerous prototypers will be interested to know we used Seeed for prototyping procurement and the PCBs are beautiful

Arduino / Finding how much RAM you are using
Hi folks,
I just wrote up a nice little tip I learned while debugging the bootdrive. You can get all the background at my blog:
http://baldwisdom.com/precious-memory/
But if you want just the meat (Though it is useful to read some of the background, useful links etc...):

First find your build directory. On Windows 7 this is users<youruser>AppDataTempbuild<a bunch of numbers>.tmp

Now, assuming you have the avrdude files somewhere in your path, use the command:

avr-size -C --mcu=atmega328p <yourelf-file.elf>
For example, the current version of Bootdrive gives me:

avr-size -C --mcu=atmega328p BootDrive.cpp.elf
AVR Memory Usage
----------------
Device: atmega328p
Program: 19272 bytes (58.8% Full)
(.text + .data + .bootloader)
Data: 1340 bytes (65.4% Full)
(.data + .bss + .noinit)

USB Infrared Toy / Re: IR TOY2 does IRscope2 (IR Widget)
Cool. Actually the times I was measuring was on my own device, and I hooked the scope up to one leg of the diode.
I wrote some code for the TV-B-Gone to trigger a nikon camera a while ago, and that worked fine (first time!) I decided to implement canon blind (don't have a canon dslr) and wanted to check the timing. Thank you for the explanation, it was very helpful!
To play with, I bought both the demodulator and the detector that USBIRtoy uses.
