I ordered the flirc from amazon in Aug. 2022

it is directly in the front panel of the pc so the IR can reach their targets

I recently plugged my flirc usb dongle in my new win 11 pc and installed the flirc software, it immediately wanted to make a firmware update, but failed. after re-plugging and restarting the software, the update succeeded. But all tests fail and it cant send stuff: PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Flirc> .\flirc_util.exe unit_test [E] lib/libtransport/transport.c _dev_send_cmd(225): Wrong response: 'h_peek' != 'getversion' Self test not supported [E] lib/libtransport/transport.c _dev_send_cmd(225): Wrong response: 'getversion' != 'format' [E] lib/libtransport/transport.c _dev_send_cmd(225): Wrong response: 'h_peek' != 'record' [E] lib/libflirc/firmware/fw_4.9.c fl_ver4_set_record_api(109): command error [E] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_recv_packet(223): Wrong report exp: 5 != 1 [E] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_recv_packet(224): hidapi: Success [E] lib/libtransport/transport.c _recv_packet(127): _recv_packet: recv packet error = -1 [E] lib/libtransport/transport.c _dev_send_cmd(202): recv timeout [E] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_recv_packet(223): Wrong report exp: 1 != 5 [E] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_recv_packet(224): hidapi: Success [E] lib/libtransport/transport.c _recv_packet(127): _recv_packet: recv packet error = -1 [E] lib/libtransport/transport.c _dev_send_cmd(202): recv timeout [E] lib/libflirc/firmware/fw_4.2.c _fl_unit_test(132): error recording test0 Flirc Not Okay [E] lib/libtransport/transport.c _dev_send_cmd(225): Wrong response: 'h_peek' != 'format' PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Flirc> .\flirc_util.exe sendir --raw="88 -448 +587 -1523 +592 -448 +588 -448 +588 -448 +588 -452 +599 -1511 +588 -1527 +587 -448 +588 -448 +588 -453 +587 -449 +587 -449 +588 -1526 +588 -448 +588 -448 +588 -1526 +588 -448 +588 -452 +588 -448 +588 -1526 +588 -1522 +588 -1526 +588 -1522 +592 -1522 +587 -1527 +587 -1527 +587 -1522 +588 -1527 +587 -1527 +587 -1523 +587 -1526 +588 -1526 +588 -1522 +587 -1527 +587 -1527 +587 -1523 +587 -1527 +590 -1524 +587 -449 +587 -1527 +587 -449 +587 -1528 +586 -1522 +592 -449 +587 -1522 +592 -449 +594 -5108 +4446 -4302 +588 -448 +588 -1527 +587 -448 +588 -1527 +587 -1523 +592 -1522 +588 -1522 +592 -449 +587 -458 +578 -1527 +588 -1522 +592 -1523 +587 -1522 +592 -1522 +588 -448 +588 -1522 +592 -1522 +592 -444 +592 -1522 +588 -1522 +592 -1522 +588 -448 +592 -444 +592 -444 +592 -448 +588 -459 +577 -448 +592 -444 +592 -448 +587 -449 +587 -449 +591 -444 +592 -444 +592 -448 +588 -448 +588 -448 +592 -444 +592 -444 +592 -448 +587 -449 +587 -1522 +592 -444 +592 -1523 +590 -445 +592 -444 +592 -1518 +592 -448 +588 -1522 +592" Transmitting IR Pattern... +8 -448 +587 -1523 +592 -448 +588 -448 +588 -448 +588 -452 +599 -1511 +588 -1527 +587 -448 +588 -448 +588 -453 +587 -449 +587 -449 +588 -1526 +588 -448 +588 -448 +588 -1526 +588 -448 +588 -452 +588 -448 +588 -1526 +588 -1522 +588 -1526 +588 -1522 +592 -1522 +587 -1527 +587 -1527 +587 -1522 +588 -1527 +587 -1527 +587 -1523 +587 -1526 +588 -1526 +588 -1522 +587 -1527 +587 -1527 +587 -1523 +587 -1527 +590 -1524 +587 -449 +587 -1527 +587 -449 +587 -1528 +586 -1522 +592 -449 +587 -1522 +592 -449 +594 -5108 +4446 -4302 +588 -448 +588 -8 +448 -587 +1523 -592 +448 -588 +448 -588 +448 -588 +452 -599 +1511 -588 +1527 -587 +448 -588 +448 -588 +453 -587 +449 -587 +449 -588 +1526 -588 +448 -588 +448 -588 +1526 -588 +448 -588 +452 -588 +448 -588 +1526 -588 +1522 -588 +1526 -588 +1522 -592 +1522 -587 +1527 -587 +1527 -587 +1522 -588 +1527 -587 +1527 -587 +1523 -587 +1526 -588 +1526 -588 +1522 -587 +1527 -587 +1527 -587 +1523 -587 +1527 -590 +1524 -587 +449 -587 +1527 -587 +449 -587 +1528 -586 +1522 -592 +449 -587 +1522 -592 +449 -50 [E] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_recv_packet(223): Wrong report exp: 5 != 1 [E] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_recv_packet(224): hidapi: Success [E] lib/libtransport/transport.c _recv_packet(127): _recv_packet: recv packet error = -1 [E] lib/libtransport/transport.c _dev_send_cmd(202): recv timeout [E] util/flirc_util/src/cmds/ir_transmit.c decode_raw(107): Error sending pattern Done! *** Device Connected *** Firmware Version: v4.10.5 SKU: Flirc 2.0 [dori] Git Hash: 0xf7261c8c ERROR.

This would be the ideal outcome, if it was mqtt then it would be imediatly compatible with a whole host of devices.

@jason or anyone. Is there a tool or website available that helps me convert the flirc codes to the new format? I have a bunch of flirc codes lying around that need updating to use with the new Pi software. I tried getting phind.com to write a tool for me which resulted in this python code: import math # define constants PRONTO_CODE = '0000' FREQUENCY = '006D' ZERO = '0000' PULSE = 9025 SPACE = 4391 # input sequence (change this to your input) ir_sequence = [0,9025,4391,643,448,617,469,643,443,643,448,638,448,617,470,643,443,643,1568,617,1597,643,1568,643,1572,643,1568,643,1568,621,1594,643,1568,643,448,643,1568,643,443,643,447,617,469,643,444,643,447,639,447,643,444,643,443,643,1568,621,1593,643,1568,617,1598,643,1567,643,1567,647,1568,643] # convert IR sequence to Pronto Code pronto_sequence = [] for i in range(2, len(ir_sequence), 2): space = ir_sequence[i] pulse = ir_sequence[i+1] pulse_hex = hex(int(pulse/PULSE*0x10)) space_hex = hex(int(space/SPACE*0x10)) pronto_sequence.append(str(space_hex)[2:].zfill(4)) pronto_sequence.append(str(pulse_hex)[2:].zfill(4)) print(PRONTO_CODE, FREQUENCY, ZERO, ZERO, ''.join(pronto_sequence)) but it gave me a completely different result from the working expected pronto code that i have for that one command: Expected result: 0000 006D 0022 0000 0159 00AD 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0042 0014 0042 0015 0041 0016 0041 0015 0042 0015 0042 0015 0042 0015 0042 0015 0016 0016 0042 0015 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0015 0041 0016 0042 0015 0042 0015 0042 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 06C3 Actual result: 0000 006D 0000 0000 001000010001000100010001000100010001000100010001000100010001000100050001000500010005000100050001000500010005000100050001000500010001000100050001000100010001000100010001000100010001000100010001000100010001000100050001000500010005000100050001000500010005000100050001 EDIT: I now also tried your tool from above but it says "--pattern" can and can't be used at the same time: blu@automater:/var/www $ irtools help decode 0,9025,4391,643,448,617,469,643,443,643,448,638,448,617,470,643,443,643,1568,617,1597,643,1568,643,1572,643,1568,643,1568,621,1594,643,1568,643,448,643,1568,643,443,643,447,617,469,643,444,643,447,639,447,643,444,643,443,643,1568,621,1593,643,1568,617,1598,643,1567,643,1567,647,1568,643 Help for `decode' command: usage: decode <opts> decode --pattern=143,2123,13...

Are you still deep in "that other product"? ^^

Have you figured this out? Maybe the flirc_util can be rewritten to handle this? https://github.com/flirc/sdk/blob/26e271e49325ec7e449a705e4d438c7d0426fd0d/libs/flirc/flirc.h#L997 https://github.com/flirc/sdk/blob/26e271e49325ec7e449a705e4d438c7d0426fd0d/cli/src/cmds/ir_transmit.c#L90
