Hi Folks

I just received a Flirc the other day and it works fine when  I plug into PC or Linux box, however my intended application involves connecting into a keyboard adapter device:  usb kbd in to bluetooth HID out,  and in this mode it is not working... or rather is extremely intermittent . ( The adapter works fine with a 'regular' USB keyboard). Of course I've contacted the adapter manufacturers too ( HandHeld Scientific) but would like to know if there is anything on the Flirc side that might be at play?

Kind regards

Jason, Chris thanks for your replies.

@jason, the adapter (if that was you were asking) is one of these: http://handheldsci.com/kb, they only have one model. FWIW I'm using firmware 3.5 on the Flirc.

@Chris - any idea how much Flirc needs? I can ask Handheld Sci what they can provide. Wonder would a USB hub work around this?

Hi, not sure how much flirc needs but a powered USB hub would help (if this was the cause). We see this kind of issue with the raspberry pi when people use inferior power supplies.

Here's the link to our help document about raspberry pi power problem: https://flirc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200949338-Flirc-not-working-as-expected-with-Raspberry-Pi

I'll be honest, i've been on the forums since they first started (too many years for me to say) and I haven't seen anyone else you flirc in this way.

In fact Flirc was designed long before the raspberry pi was even announced so we're always seeing different products being used with Flirc

 

Keep us posted on your findings
