I built an IR-Receiver with Digispark. After plug it into the relevant USB-port of my

- Dell - PC (Windows 10)
- Macbook M1 (Mac OS)
- eePC-Netbook (Windows XP)

It was detected as a keyboard an worked as planned.

When I connected the receiver to Picomite - USB nothing happened?

After several changes of the USB-Driver (TrinketHIDCombo, TrinketKeyboard) of the Digispark I deceided to checked the different Versions of Picomite firmware and found following behavior:

A.) Pico 1, VGAUSB Edition 5.09.00RC3
IR-Receiver detected as: Generic Gamepad Connected on channel 1

B.) Pico1, VGAUSB Edition 5.09.00b5
IR-Receiver detected as: Generic Gamepad Connected on channel 1

C.) Pico, VGAUSB Edition 5.09.00 RC3
IR-Receiver detected as: Generic Gamepad Connected on channel 1
If I connect my keyboard only the following is displayed:
US USB Keyboard connechted on channel 1
Generic Gamepad connected on channel 2

D.) Pico, HDMIUSB Edition V6.00.01
IR-Receiver not detected as described on top.

It seems , that the Firmware of the Picomite is the cause of the detection problem?

Has anybody an idea? Need help how to go on/solve the problem.
