| Post subject: | SOLVED: LIRC R5E50 iMON doesnt work |
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: Code: # /etc/lirc/hardware.conf # # Arguments which will be used when launching lircd LIRCD_ARGS="" #Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file START_LIRCMD=false #Try to load appropriate kernel modules LOAD_MODULES=true # Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers. DRIVER="default" # If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be # automatically used instead DEVICE="/dev/lirc0" MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_imon" 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 Code: alias char-major-61 lirc_imon_pad
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: Quote: connect: Connection refused
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? -Mitch |

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

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: Code: lirc_imon 16260 1 lirc_dev 16628 1 lirc_imon usbcore 111364 5 lirc_imon,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd My /dev directory looks like: Code: crw-rw---- 1 root video 61, 0 Feb 17 11:12 /dev/lirc0
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Feb 17 11:12 /dev/lircd 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? -Ben |
