If you are talking about a homebrew IR receiver, I dont think they use tha data lines on the serial port so cat /dev/ttySx will not work. You can run mode2 or xmode2 to get lirc to display code timing of codes received. |

just type mode2 and point your remote at the receiver and press buttons. You should see pulse length details written to the terminal. Not sure if lircd needs to be running, but the lirc_serial module will need to be loaded. It will default to being setup for one of the com ports (probably COM1). You can change the serial port it uses by specifying module options. |

setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none modprobe lirc_serial. You really need to go and read one of the IR Blaster tutorial/howtos. The configuration for an IR blaster is identical to a home brew receiver (when configured, you can have a receiver and a blaster on the same serial port). |
