Pictures taken by mobile: Not so clear. -_-
Only lacks the diode at MCLR.
Can IN4148 be used?

Yes, 1n4148 is perfect! Nice build.

Which firmware to write to it? Is there any bootloader+firmware=dump available like in BP?
I have tried to write "USBIRToy.v09-HaD.hex" through a PK2clone at 5V, but when verifying, it gives this error: http://snpr.cm/Xb5rNi.png (http://snpr.cm/Xb5rNi.png)
This is the slightly modified v1a design that I used.[attachment=0]

Wrong image is due to a template issue, thanks for sharing.
The firmware dump is in: USB_IR_Toymanufacturing_resourcesv2.0firmware_dump of the source download/SVN
The -HaD is for the receiver I built at Hack a Day, not the IR TOy :)

There was an issue with the Wiki picture name, thanks for pointing it out. It is fixed now.

The file "USBIRToy-BL1FW12-DUMP.hex" is written successfully.
Now the IR toy glows the LED at pin#2 when power is given.
Though all connections are correct and double checked, the USB device is not detected. I'm not getting device not recognized message also.
Does the design needs an additional pullup resistor at USB's D- point?
When I connected the uart, I'm getting random characters from the ir toy on resets. (9600baud)

No pullup is needed. What UART did you connect? (there is no output at all from RX/TX pins)

I have connected the PicKit2 UART mode.
there is no output at all from RX/TX pins, why are they for? :P
I fixed the problem. The crystal was defective. Now after replacing the crystal, it works fine.
I have successfully captured a test remote command of my TV's remote.
Then I replayed it.
Well, actually my TV didn't responded to the signal, but my camera shows when playing the record, the IR-LED flickered. Maybe a security feature of my TV. Who knows....

IKf it is the exact copy of the v1 (variable current IR LED driver) you should use a 2 or 3 ohm resistor with the LED for max power.
