With the release of windows 8, there is an issue with the Flirc drivers because they weren’t signed. Windows 8 doesn’t allow installation of unsigned drivers enforcing you to basically turn all signature recognition off. Although, it just asked me if I wanted to ‘install the driver anyways’, but nonetheless, plenty of people wrote in here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I created signed drivers and attached them<\/a> to the bottom of the forum.<\/p>\n

I’ll make these official as soon as I get a tad bit of feedback, but they will be incorporated into the installer so you wont have to manually do an installation through device manager.<\/p>\n

On the software front I’m still cleaning up, re-vamping my build system. Today I got working a tool called NSIS<\/a> on OSX. That creates an installer for windows. Why is that awesome? From my new build system and on my mac, not only will everything get compiled and updated, but I will be able to cross compile a windows executable and then even make the installer. I don’t need windows anymore to do any development or deployment, just test.<\/p>\n

The hardware front is going smoothly too. I updated the boards to help with yield, as I previously mentioned in my last blog entry. I’m expecting 100 sample boards to get back to test soon.<\/p>\n

I mentioned I would follow up with how I planned on improving yield, so I’ll share that as well when I get some more time.<\/p>\n

I’m going to make a huge effort to update the blog once a week. I want to do a better job of letting everyone know that I’m still working extremely hard on making this product perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
