| Post subject: | Can't Get Serial IR Receiver to Work with RA15 |
Everything installed flawlessly and I was watching TV in minutes. The only issue I'm having right now is that I can't get my serial port IR receiver to work. I know the reciever and the remote I'm using are good (tested on a Windows box), but no signals are being received from the Myth box. I decided to build lirc from source and install it and I can get the lirc_serial module loaded, but when I run the mode2 program it does nothing - it runs, but no signals are received. Has anyone got this going? Help appreciated. |

Here are my notes from getting my serial receiver working. I am somewhat of a newbie so there are probably extra steps or better ways of doing this but mine is working. Before upgrading, I copied lircrc and lircd.conf to /myth so it would be kept. cp /myth/lircrc /etc/lirc/lircrc/ cp /myth/lircd.conf /etc/lirc lirc-reconfig.sh I wasn't sure what the lirc-reconfig script did so I also did this: wget lirc-0.7.1 from whereever it is on the net tar jxf lirc-0.7.1.tar.bz2 cd lirc-0.7.1 ./configure make make install in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh added these three lines: setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none modprobe lirc_serial /usr/local/sbin/lircd (this is what made everything work once machine was rebooted) update-modules (not sure why I do this) reboot |
