M-Stack for USB Ir Toy

August 09, 2014, 04:01:38 pm

Hi,

Deeming the current USB stack for the USB Ir Toy (v22 and v23) to be unstable/unreliable and due to the fact that firmware updates for the device seem to have stopped, I performed a quick search for open source USB stacks and found M-Stack.
It appears to be maintained, unlike the stack included in the Toy's firmware, and suitable for the PIC 18F2550.

Would there be any advantage using this USB stack over the current one included in the firmware and has anyone attempted to use it already?

I'm no C programmer, I don't have a lot of knowledge about electronics, nor do I know how to build the Toy's firmware.
Are there any intentions to work on the Toy's firmware again and would including this stack be an option?
