I have currently upgraded to R5E50 of Knoppmyth and found the upgrade pretty easy. Everything worked just fine. I have never gotten my iMON remote to work, but now that I did the update, I have tried it. I believe I have followed all the instructions, but I still can't seem to get it to work. Here is what I have done.

1)My /etc/lirc/hardware.conf looks like this:

The Modules and Driver info came from http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html
and the Device info came from http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13108

2) I have added this line to /etc/modules.conf

This information also came from http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html

3) I have copied the correct files (though, that shouldn't matter) for the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc.

What my problem(s) is that when I run lircd from root and then type in irw, it just goes to the next command prompt, it doesn't put any characters out and if I type in irw again, it says:

Also, when i look in the /dev/ folder, I only see lircd not lirc0 or lirc; I cant use mode2 either that way. What can I be doing wrong to not get irw to work or the remote in general?

Did the module actually get loaded properly by the lirc script? Given that you are missing /dev/lirc0 I suspect not.

I got nothing from executing that code.

Whats the output from:

greg,

This is my output now:


Thank you very much, now it works as expected!

I am trying to do the same thing,.. I get the same output except my "lirc_imon" line has a "0" for the last digit and it doesn't work. I must be missing something simple?

I'm in the same boat. LCDd was a snap to get back to working.. (even though it went from 0.4.5 to 0.5.1) but I'm still wrestling with LIRCd

my lsmod looks like:



My /dev directory looks like:


So I repointed /etc/hardware.conf

DEVICE="/dev/lirc" to DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"

And VIOLA! It works.

What does your hardware.conf file look like?
