| Post subject: | ledxmit IR Blaster and Dual Satellite Receivers (Solved) |
Hi, I have managed to get my IR blaster from www.irblaster.info working with one of my ExpressVu 3100 (Similar to Dish 301) receivers using the tutorial http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/my ... _LIRC.html. To do this I used the ledxmitd.conf file based on the remote deffinition at http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/dishnet/SAT_301. So far all is good, so I want to add a second receiver, and make use of the second receiver on my PVR-500. I scrolled down to the section in the above tutorial to the section for using multiple receivers. I generated the raw remote for for my second remote address (9) and pased it into the /etc/ledxmitd.conf file below the original one, and called the remote "31009". I also took the change_chan.sh script and changed the name to change_chan2.sh and changed the remote name from 3100 to 31009. At this point, after rebooting or restarting the daemon I should be able to change channels on my second receiver, but no go. Receiver 1 (3100) is working fine, but the new receiver isn't (31009). I have created new ledxmitd.conf where both remote profiles are in rew format, generated by the JVC_RAW script. This caused both to stop working at all. When I send a command to the change_chan2.sh script here is the response I get: Code: #/usr/local/bin/change_chan2.sh 500 /usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE 31009 5 /usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend: transmission failed /usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE 31009 0 /usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend: transmission failed /usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE 31009 0 /usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend: transmission failed versus what happend when I do the original script. Here is the content of the change_chan2.sh script: Code: #!/bin/sh
REMOTE_NAME=31009 for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do /usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit sleep 0.3 # note, you may have to tweak the interdigit delay up a bit, depending on your DISH receiver model done The only thing that I have been unable to figure out is how to use a non-raw file similar to the original one I used for the first receiver, but with a remote address of 9. I have been unable to figure out is how to modify that file so that it sends address 9 for the second remote. Any thoughts on what could be going on? Cheers Victor |

Hi, It seems as though the mix of hex and Decimal in the /etc/ledxmit.conf file was not cool. I had been trying to keep the remote definitions in the same fromat and managed to find the the right format by locating an archived version of the defunct site http://lircsetup.com/lirc/multi/index.php by going to http://www.archive.org and entering the original URL that was showing as being dead. On the archived page I found the /etc/ledxmit.conf for the remote addresses 1, 6, and 9. I had to make one modification to the file because every time I would enter a channel number like 500, it would only show the last digit as being entered (i.e. the only number that would be entered was 0) To fix this I changed "min_repeat 1" to "min_repeat 4" which is the amount in the file on the remote definition at http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/dishnet/SAT_301. The remote config for 1 is on the http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/dishnet/SAT_301, so I will provide only 6 and 9: Remote address 6 for the ExpressVu 3100: Code: begin remote name DISH_6 bits 16 flags SPACE_ENC|NO_HEAD_REP eps 30 aeps 100 header 350 6000 one 324 2800 zero 324 1700 ptrail 324 gap 6000 min_repeat 4 toggle_bit 0 begin codes tv/video 0x000000000000A37F power 0x000000000000F77F menu 0x000000000000D37F page_up 0x000000000000C36F page_down 0x000000000000E36F guide 0x000000000000AF7F pointer_up 0x000000000000977F pointer_left 0x0000000000008F7F pointer_right 0x0000000000009F7F pointer_down 0x000000000000877F select 0x000000000000BF7F recall 0x000000000000937F info 0x000000000000FF7F view 0x000000000000A77F cancel 0x000000000000B77F sys_info 0x0000000000006F7F record 0x000000000000837F 1 0x000000000000EF7F 2 0x000000000000EB7F 3 0x000000000000E77F 4 0x000000000000DF7F 5 0x000000000000DB7F 6 0x000000000000D77F 7 0x000000000000CF7F 8 0x000000000000CB7F 9 0x000000000000C77F 0 0x000000000000BB7F * 0x0000000000006B7F # 0x000000000000677F end codes end remote For remote address 9: Code: begin remote

I now have both tuners and receivers working in concert perfectly. I hope this helps some one else avoid the frustration I endured. Cheer Victor |
