Multiple AND missing key presses

[ignisuti]

I've tried several different remotes and they all give the same results. Pressing a key gives you a random chance at one of the following outcomes:

1.) Desired result

2.) Multiple repeats of the same key press

3.) No key press

 

-I've tried inter key delays of 0 and 6, but it doesn't appear to make a difference.

-One of the remotes I tried was a MCE remote. So, I assume that's been tested tons of times before with Flirc.

 

Here are the settings for my MCE remote.

Stick to an interkey delay of 3. Windows MCE remotes give flirc a hard time because they use a very uncommon carrier frequency. Do you have another type you can try? Samsung, panasonic remotes work great.

I finally tried my Samsung remote with the Flirc and that seems to be working really well. Just really frustrated that the MCE remotes don't work well. That's got to be one of the most popular remotes on the market.

Fixed. Got a new algorithm that puts that to rest:

Still some missing features, but I'm working on it.

That's great news. Thanks Jason!

 

Before I posted tonight, I checked for firmware updates via the Windows App and it told me the 2.6 on my FLIRC device was the latest firmware. Why didn't it show me 3.0?

You need beta GUI app which contains beta firmware.
