Tessel 1 - ir-attx4 - Error: Invalid response from CRC check (similar to ambient-attx4)

[John_Lombardo]

It's not just the ambient-attx4 that is experiencing the Invalid response from CRC check error seen here a couple weeks ago.

I have trimmed my IR script down the the point where it talks to the module...

var tessel = require('tessel');
var infraredlib = require('ir-attx4');
var infrared = infraredlib.use(tessel.port['A']);

... and I get the following output:

> tessel run scan.js
TESSEL! Connected to TM-00-04-f0009a30-005a4343-663845c2.

I tried rolling back ir-attx4 versions from 0.2.8 until I started getting the Wrong module plugged into port error.

Here's some other debug info:

Merry Christmas, and I'm looking forward to T2!

Cheers,

Hi @John_Lombardo, thanks for reporting this. I would expect the IR module to be having a tough time too because it shares the attiny-common dependency that is likely the root of this problem. I hope to check it out sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Hope this gets a look in after T2 is launched and happy.

@John_Lombardo it should work just fine on T2.

I meant I hoped that the firmware could be fixed to work on T1 again, so I can leave that controlling my aircon, whilst I use my new T2s for active development, Jon
