knabinger Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 Hi, today i received my new Flirc from Amazon. Yeah!!! :D But the big disappointment appears right after plugging the Dongle into the HTPC-Box. :mellow: I'm not able to pair my own Keys, because Flirc-GUI pairs the keys itself!!! When i press the virtual key, e.g. '1' at the GUI, the key is immediately paired (i didn't press any key on the RC (-> One for All URC 7562)!). I tried this on a Linux and a Windows Box, the issue persists. After the unwanted pairing the virtual Key flickers green, just like the RC fires '1' rapidly. Checked this with a text editor where i can see a 'running 1'... Is it possible, that the (or only my one?) Flirc is extremly sensitive against environmental/noisy light? When i cover the Dongle with my hand, this behavior of immediate pairing is gone; when i open my hand a little bit, the key pairs without any other action :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: ....I have no illuminations, computer case lights or others, that could disturb the flirc's IR-receiver, only low light. After hours of playing around with it, googling, trying other settings....updated to the latest Firmware, clear config, switched Noise Canceler on/off, tried every Inter-Key Delay from 0-6....I'm really disappointed at this point, Flirc is unusable for me :angry: Can anyone help please? Is this a normal behavior??? :blink: Or is my Flirc broken or is this a Firmware bug? Greets knabinger My settings: flirc_util version v1.2.6 [v1.2.6] Firmware: v2.6 Settings: sleep detection: Disabled noise canceler: Enabled inter-key delay: 0 state: 0 builtin profiles: Enable Memory Info: keys recorded: 6 keys remaining: 163 memory used: 4% Recorded Keys: Index hash key ----- --------- --- 0 B75755AE 1 1 7CCF14A 1 2 74E60504 1 3 154EC48F 1 4 44354ECB 1 5 A994C854 1 BTW: Recorded Keys count doesnt matter- problem persists :( Quote
yawor Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Yes, Flirc can be affected by some specific light sources. You can try upgrading to newest 3.0 firmware. Quote
knabinger Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Posted September 17, 2014 Thx for your reply! OK, maybe i'll wait some days until FW3.0 becomes stable. I'll try again then and give feedback. Quote
smilez Posted October 8, 2014 Report Posted October 8, 2014 Ive had the same issue and currently my flirc is sitting on the side and i am making do with my pulse eight CEC adapter untill these issues are ironed out. I would say be patient, it will be figured out eventually! (Btw these symptons persist even with the upgrade. Im gonna give it a shot with my raspberry pi to see if its just on windows these symptons surface) Quote
