baj1 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) So I seem to have found all the Flirc USB gen1 units I had thought I had lost. I now have three gen1 and one gen2 units. I was setting them up for various uses and may have a gen1 that has gone bad? I'm using GUI v3.25.3 and was able to connect and update the firmware to v3.11, but any key I try to program in any of the templates triggers a "transfer error" message in the message window in the middle-bottom of the GUI as soon as I press the remote button. I tried a couple different remotes. Also the happy-face "connected" momentarily changes to sad-face "disconnected" when the transfer error appears. I had no problem upgrading the f/w and programming one of the other gen1 units. I'm also running this on Linux Mint as my home is now Windoze-less - woohoo! Installation was easy, thanks for the helpful instructions. I do have to run Flirc with sudo to get it to work, so perhaps I have some permissions to figure out, but that's a minor detail. Any thoughts on my gen1 unit? Is it toast or are there diagnostics I can try? Thanks, -Brad Edited October 28, 2020 by baj1 fixed typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
