Good day all,

I appear to be having some problems with lirc to transmit.
A little background for you:
ir blaster ordered from irblaster.info
and lirc configured using: http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html

I am running the shell script provided in the howto to change channels, and have attempted a number of different sleep timers. Ranging from .2 seconds to 1.5 seconds.

The problem is, say I run change_chan.sh 222.. I might get a "2" on my reciever. Might not.. if I run change_chan.sh 22222222222 I just might get three 2's.. but not necessarily.

While attempting to figure out if it was just misplaced on the front of the reciever, I had a
while sleep 1
do
change_chan.sh 222
done

loop running, after 5 minutes, i was getting device or resource busy errors. I have gone into the bios, and manually set the irc to 0x2f8, irq 3 and have the exact same problem.

any ideas?

I've reconfigured my bios to have com1 enabled, and reconfigured my ir blaster for com1. Still the same problem.



and

toonces,
see 'IMPORTANT NOTE #2' in stage 5 of my writeup. try renice'ing the ledxmit process as i show, and tell me if that improves things.

ps: what speed CPU are you running? what set top box do you have? how far from your IR blaster to your set top box?
