Ok, now that I am done painting for the night I'll give it a go and report back.

I installed Hijack, had to read how to edit config.ini again (been so long I forgot) and I have hyperterminal open and waiting.

And as I was writing this it woke up and started so here is what happened. So what does this mean?

Did all of that happen AFTER it woke up?

I'd like to see the entire sequence from when you put the player into standby, if possible.

Cheers

Ok, will do.

Oh, and in answer to "what does it mean", here's the button presses that the player sees from the sequence you posted:

0000000b = KnobLeft
00fffffe = IR_FAKE_INITIAL <--- internally generated by hijack
0000000a = KnobRight

Cheers

I have it in standby now and will post when it wakes up which won't take it long.

Good.

Note that those ever-increasing numbers that prefix most lines are timestamps, in 100ths of a second.

When it wakes up again, you may note a huge gap in timestamps between earlier messages and the ones after it woke up.

I need to see all of the messages spanning that gap -- the two or three immediately beforehand, and everything afterwards.

Thanks

Oh, I'm heading out for a long hike to a remote geocache.. might not be back for a while, but please post away!

Neat. I've only been geocaching twice but it was a good laugh each time. Luckily it was a nice day on both times.

You going to leave anything cool?

- Trevor

Usually it wakes right back up but it has decided that it is tired. Have fun and I'll post whatever it says

>You going to leave anything cool?

Well, I picked up an E.T. toy, that probably has a tiny camera hidden inside, and left a hunting knife & scabbard that I found near another local cache last fall.

Cheers

You're back and my empeg is still sleeping on the job. It figures that before I couldn't get it 'not' to turn itself on. I'm leaving it hooked up until he awakens even though I'd like to have it play right now.

Greetings!

A thought - could having an open, well behaved connection on the serial port change the results of the test?

Since we know that the player watches for serial commands as well as the remote / IR control, maybe the serial port (if there is a stray signal) would wake the player as well??? Perhaps it is not the IR control pathway that is in question, but the serial port?

Since this test involves having an active, well behaved serial connection active, maybe it is either changing the circumstances of the bug or the bug is in the serial port sending the signal instead of the IR, as originally thought.

One possible way to check this would be to disconnect the display board from the main board completely, and see if it still happens with nothing on the serial port. That would take the IR signal path out of the loop completely...

A thought.

Edit - reread the whole thread and saw that the bug happened with a serial link connected. So that is not it.

It's toying with me. Since I said I could easily recreate the bug, it's going to prove me wrong. Don't you hate when that happens

Greetings!

The only way to get a bug to perform on command is to say "watch this"...

I left it on hyperterminal over night but it never turned itself on. Maybe the problem went away as fast as it appeared. If it starts happening again I'll post a log, in the meantime, I'm going to listen to it
