Re: serial receiver with usb power source

G V — 2013-05-24T16:06:46

   Thanks for your reply
   I thought it would be something like that, but was unsure about two things:
  --should I connect pin 1 to usb ground, serial or both? I assume they should be at 
the same level
  --what about keeping DCD on a valid voltage level? or would it work as an
active high receiver If I leave everything else out with the same IR sensor?

missing some glue for aureal driver

lautriv — 2013-05-23T17:44:34

hey there,

I was used to lirc since a long time using homebrew receivers with success.
Now i changed my remotes to some aureal and built lirc 0.9.0 
--with-driver=atwf83
which is specially meant for this devices.
Further changes are : disble the eventX from beeing used in Xorg,
tell udev to symlink the appropirate device to /dev/input/irremote,
copy the config from sources to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf (debian),
start lirc via SysV and with -H atwf83 -d /dev/input/irremote.
also i changed the remote's name in my ~/.lircrc.

Unfortunately i have no function and can't use the tools to
check my input because they are meant for some pulse/pause
combinations and not for hid-scancodes.

How may i check and correct this issue ?

serial receiver with usb power source

G V — 2013-05-21T20:27:04

 Hi,  I want to build the serial receiver that's on http://www.lirc.org/receivers.html, but I wanted to know how it needs to be modified to use the 5v usb line to power it, as suggested there, so I don't need to use the RTS at all.  Any help will be appreciated as I don't want to burn anything.

iguanaworks serial transceiver and lirc weirdness

Ido Admon — 2013-05-15T16:18:32

hello list,
i'm trying to get lirc working with iguanaworks serial ir transceiver
(http://iguanaworks.net/products/series-transceiver/), but failing
miserably. i have a soekris net4801
(http://soekris.com/products/net4801.html) box running debian wheezy
(7.0), and the transceiver is connected to the extra serial port with a
simple db9 to idc cable.
now, the weird thing is that mode2 and irrecord work very nicely, but
irw or irexec don't. here's what i get when trying to run irw (it's on
ttyS1 because ttyS0 is the serial console):

IR Blaster USB with Lirc ftdi driver

Hello,


I have some problems using an USB IR Blaster with the ftdi driver of Lirc.


Here is my system config :

To install my device I have followed this site : http://www.huitsing.nl/irftdi/


I have compiled and installed Lirc with the FTDI driver.
And I have configured it with a lircd.conf that I know it works.

Re: Different types of IR codes for the same remote

Martin T Jones — 2013-05-14T10:53:50

The file format generated by irrecord is described in:

http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/technicaldetails.html

Your IR-PRO device data looks like the output irrecord would produce in 
'raw' mode
that is the timings of the marks and spaces in the Infra Red data.
The times recorded by irrecord are in microseconds, looking at your data 
above
it appears that the IR-PRO device uses 25 microsecond units.

This got me a little further.  Looking into the init script, I saw it was

syslog showed it was failing to connect.  Turned out I had a driver

Re: Irrecord with Hama MCE Remote receiver

2013-05-10T13:31:42

devinput should contain most, if not all, key definitions for all remote 
controls.
OK so I'm also understanding you a little better :D
You could use different environment/config files passed as arguments to 
the LIRC service. You will need different instances of LIRC each running 
concurrently and using its own environment/config file. But if you merge 
all your enviornment/config files into one there "may be" key overlaps.

Here is background to using multiple instances of LIRC. Note that you 
will need to configure the LIRC service appropriately so that all your 
remotes connect into the one socket.

http://www.lirc.org/html/configure.html

If you don't find the key for your RC in devinput (though quite 
unlikely) you can make your definitions using irrecord. But I just tend 
to go with whatever assignment is in the devinput file and use that as a 
pointer in .lircrc.

I think you should find everything in devinput without having to make 
separate environment/config files for each RC. Then you only need t

But what I would like to know is what I have to do to configure another remote that I do not have the configuration file.  
Is the standard key definitions works for all other remotes ?In this case what is the aim of irrecord ?

Re: Irrecord with Hama MCE Remote receiver

How many remotes do you have and which ones?
The environment file (lircd.conf) remains pretty static and shouldn't be 
changed once you have LIRC correctly set up.

The .lircrc file is what you use customise appropriate key presses for 
each application which uses LIRC. Different apps have different 
definitions for different keys. In this file you will put script like:

# begin !<Your App Name>!

begin
     prog = !<App Name>!
     button = KEY_XXX
     config = !<Function assigned to this key>!
     repeat = 0
end

begin
     prog = !<App Name>!
     button = KEY_XXY
     config = !<Function assigned to this key>!
end

.
.

Re: Remote AND transmitter with lircd 0.9.0

2013-05-09T11:06:21

Why does your LIRC config produce two sockets?

If you have two devices (two transmission devices) both of them require 
an assignment (eg say, /dev/lirc0 and /dev/lirc1). You then need only 
one socket but both devices need to "connect" into that one socket.

You need to the use the --listen argument and --connect=localhost:PORT 
argument passed to your LIRC service.

The first device will listen and the second device will connect.

See here for a background:

Remote AND transmitter with lircd 0.9.0

Don Doumakes — 2013-05-09T01:00:07

I could use some help getting my MythTV over what I think is the last 
hurdle.

My hardware.conf is below.  As written, I have a remote that works 
perfectly, but attempting to transmit with irsend gives the error message

irsend: hardware does not support sending

On the other hand, if I comment out all the REMOTE* lines in 
hardware.conf, the transmitter works perfectly.

Other clues:

With the hardware.conf file as shown below, "ls -l /dev/lirc*" produces:

crw------- 1 root root 250, 0 May  8 19:36 /dev/lirc0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     19 May  8 19:40 /dev/lircd -> /var/run/lirc/lircd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     20 May  8 19:40 /dev/lircd1 -> 
/var/run/lirc/lircd1

Turning off power on the HD-PVR makes /dev/lirc0 disappear, fwiw.

I'd be grateful for a hint.

Over the last couple of years I have attempted unsuccessfully to get my
Hauppage A415-HPG-WE-A remote (Nova T-500 card) to work.

Recently I have been running XBMC and REALLY want to get it to work but
cannot find and up to date information relevant to latest Fedora kernels.

Before I go into lots of detail on what I have done,  can someone point
me to any relevant information?
I just want to see all the buttons being detected and given a function,
I will configure lircrc later!

Thanks for your time
