Magiquest Remote Receiver Protocol Change - Returning Incorrect Results

ChuckMac commented 1 year ago

The problem

When using a newer Magiquest wand the wand_id and magnitude values returned are random / not correct as the protocol has been updated to include a checksum. wand_id should be static for each wand but returns a different value each time.

The upstream Magiquest IR remote receiver library I believe this was originally ported from was updated as the newer wands behave differently than previous iterations:

Recently visited Great Wolf Lodge and picked up the wand. I've managed to build an IR receiving unit with blinking lights and sound that reacts to the wand. Encased in a 3d printed crystal structure.. .then realized the Wand ID being decoded is the same as what I get from my TV Remote, and I also noticed at one point it was not 100% consistent.... The one wand usually returns ID 19667 (as does my TV remote) but sometimes varies. Would love to know if anyone is still working on this
