Re: IR Toy firmware v23 tests Reply #16 – January 28, 2013, 04:14:18 pm I have been trying to compile R1611.V22 using the new MPLABX SDK and have been seeing this error:../usb_stack.h:19: error: can't open include file "picusb.h": No such file or directoryIf I move to the source for V23 will it fix this problem?edit: added later...I should add that I am also using the new xc8 compiler from microchip.com.-thanks Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 01:00:00 am by Guest
Re: IR Toy firmware v23 tests Reply #17 – June 26, 2013, 04:59:55 am [quote author="ian"]Here is a test version of firmware v23. It includes an almost complete rewrite of all code by JTR. It uses an improved USB stack version, major improvements to sampling mode, SUMP logic analyzer mode, and more. Any test would be greatly appreciated! Especially if you test it and it works :)There is one known error:*In sample mode using the transmit command WITHOUT handshake will lose the first packet. I believe WinLIRC, REC&PLAY, and everybody else all use the handshake now though.Updates todo:Wake PC (some PCs...)http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3779#p41276[/quote]nice post very informative . :-) Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 01:00:00 am by Guest

Re: IR Toy firmware v23 tests Reply #19 – July 02, 2013, 12:24:42 am Widget mode in V22 and V23 are both erroneous.Would a version based on the actual V23 once become the next version?If so are theactual V23 sources available somewhere?Is there a short description how to compile & link a firmware version?Is the MinGW Shell appropriate?

That doesn't really encourage the people here to pursue debugging the IR Widget mode. I modified their precious IR Scope software to automatically put the IR Toy into widget mode, but it was all for naught, as you also discovered, the IR Toy FW with widget mode, does not work correctly. Since the JP1 folks lost their one and only supplier of the original widget design, you'd think that they'd be receptive to finding an alternative source. To be exact, they didn't actually lose their supplier, he just had some political axe to grind and jacked up the price to nearly $40 for anyone residing in a state that voted to re-elect Obama president.

Re: IR Toy firmware v23 tests Reply #22 – April 22, 2014, 09:34:34 pm Does this firmware support commands via UART TX pin? I think it would be an interesting feature. Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 01:00:00 am by Guest
Re: IR Toy firmware v23 tests Reply #23 – July 07, 2014, 10:51:33 pm My test with IrScrutinizer (viewtopic.php?f=29&t=6649) showed that the sending is buggy, in the sense on incompatible with the documentation. Sampling mode: After the start-transmit command, the toy is suppose to respond with 62, the number of bytes expected. (http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/USB ... pling_mode). It does not.

Re: IR Toy firmware v23 tests Reply #25 – October 03, 2015, 11:07:03 pm My firmware 2.4 fixes a bad timing issue in sampling mode. See my other port. It is based on v2.2 and not on v2.3 Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 01:00:00 am by Guest
Re: IR Toy firmware v23 tests Reply #26 – February 07, 2017, 01:37:51 pm Hi all,I am using firmware v22 and the IR Toy is suffering from interference form it's own signal.In my setup the light from the emitter is reflected to the receivers. This causes timing issues for transmitting.Did anyone experience the same issue? Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 01:00:00 am by Guest
Re: IR Toy firmware v23 tests Reply #27 – February 07, 2017, 01:58:29 pm @mnobelen.I have used it quite a bit and did not see such behaviour. How did you determine that this was the problem?I suggest you try to reflash the V22 firmware, to see if it helps.PS: You should really open a new thread as your issue is unrelated to this thread.

Re: IR Toy firmware v23 tests Reply #28 – June 13, 2017, 02:58:09 pm Are the sources for v23 available somewhere? It appears that the sources on Github are for v22, correct? Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 01:00:00 am by Guest
