config won't launch with Windows, and erase key function erratic

[bill]

Hi,

 

I bought a flirc recently and I love it, however in the last few days its giving more consistent problems.

 

I always have the flirc plugged into the same USB port. My flirc firmware is 3.0 and using Windows 7 Ultimate

 

1. when the pc just boots up I expect the flirc to work right away, and from the last used configuration.

However it won't respond until I manually launch the flirc software. Sometimes I even have to manually load my saved config to have it working.

I really wants to use my remote after pc booted up, any manual intervention after boot up is extremely inconvenient. How can I solve this problem?

 

2. The Erase function is very erratic and after I erased a key I still got prompted (key already in use) when I attempt to assign that key a new function. I tried erase the key many times still the same problem. I think I succeed once many days ago but no joy after that occasion.

 

Any advice is appreciated,

Send me an email, I'll get it replaced. There is a workaround in my bootloader. Issue number 1. will be remedied by an update. I can eventually do in field upgrades of the bootloaders, but it's a ton of work, I don't have the time yet.

 

2. I've only ever been able to reproduce once. Send me your configuration when it says the key says already erased but actually didn't erase. I think I can fix this, just need the config.

Hi Jason,

 

thanks - but how do I send you an email? I don't know you email address....

 

I have the config file here but it is in binary format so I can send you the file once I know where to send to, thanks
