EDITED on 11 may 2004:

i'll now save you from having to read through this entire thread,

here is the link to the HOWTO document -->

http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/my ... _LIRC.html

regards,
jim

--------------------

folks,
i'd like my myth setup to change channels on my DISH receiver. as there is no serial interface on my DISH box, i have to use an IR-blaster-like approach.

i've found a lot of confusing and somewhat contradictory information by doing searches here and on the myth user forums.

for example,
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/ma ... post=61598
and
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/ma ... ost=103044
and
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/ma ... post=59567
and
http://www.pvrcentral.net/echostar.html

after looking through the above (and more) i noticed a few trends:
a) most "commerical" IR blasters DON'T work with DISH due to the 57.6KHz modulation (vs. the "normal" 38KHz).
b) there seems to be some black magic associated with getting LIRC to obey both the standard remote (e.g. a PVR-350 remote) and at the same time deal with a channel changing transmistter like i need.
c) a good number of people have gotten the "simple LED transmitter" solution to work but they never seem to say exactly *how*. :cry:

anyway, the HW end of it doesn't scare me, i've soldered up the "simple LED transmitter" as shown in
http://lirc.org/transmitters.html

(i realize the distance limitations of the simple circuit; if i need more reach i'll build up the darlington configuration shown on the same page).

anyway, could someone assist me with the driver end of the simple LED transmitter? i have knoppmyth R4V2 installed w/ a PVR350, it all works perfecto; i have a free serial port to hang the LED transmitter off of. all i need to grok now is the driver for the transmitter and a clue as to what program is necessary for implementing channel changing. i know how to set up myth to use an external helper to change channels, that's not my issue. what i'd like to know is what program does the bit banging on the serial port, and what infrastructure is needed to support it.

thanks much for any leads.
jim

I mostly followed the directions here:

http://members.cox.net/rwraithr/IRBlaster_Howto.txt

I did re-get the lirc-0.7.0pre2.tar.bz2 file even though I was betting it was in the knoppmyth collection somewhere. I originally tried pre4. Don't do this, these directions are for pre2 and besides pre2 will work just fine.

My deviations from this were:
I did not use modules.conf, instead making a new file under /etc/modules/ivtv

then in the modules files I added in the name of that file. (when I get home tonight, I'll recheck these init filenames. )

Then for my remoted.conf I used the file JVC_4700_RAW included in

http://www.turbobit.com/software/jvc_send-0.0.4.tgz
channel.pl I clipped from one of the above sites and I had to change the device name to match what's in the remoted.conf file as name.

Hope this helps.

Amy

hi amy,

thanks for the info.

i ran across that first site the other day and played around a little bit with the script. no offense to the author for his time but he really shouldn't be near a computer at this point in time. or at least he should learn how not to hardcode things in AND moreover educate himself on what sed can do for you. i especially liked this part:

Code:

echo "Manually change device number 61 to 72, then :wq for next file."
echo "Note that not every 61 refers to the device number."
echo "You can :q to skip the remote control config files."
echo "Use /61 to search for 61, and hit n for next occurrence."
echo "(15 second pause)"

sleep 15

find remote-0.7.0pre2 | xargs grep -l 61 > device61.txt

for i in `cat device61.txt`
do
   vi $i
done

having vi in a for/next loop, how quaint. so much promise shown using xargs but somehow he missed out on the sed and awk man pages.

if instead he had typed
# ./configure --help
in the lirc directory he would have discovered all of these manual editing gyrations could have been readily and easily avoided. typing "wq!" about 23 times to get through that script seems a bit, well, stupid.

anyway, i'm applying the basics from lirc.org and the gist of the above to get to the solution. i guess it's a case of the right thinking, but a cumbersome implementation.

Code:

root@mythtv# export LIRC=lirc-0.7.0pre4

root@mythtv# mkdir lirc-ledxmit ; cd lirc-ledxmit

root@mythtv# wget http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/lirc/$LIRC.tar.bz2

root@mythtv# bzip2 -d *bz2 ; tar xf *tar; cd $LIRC

root@mythtv# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lirc-ledxmit --with-major=72 --with-port=0x2f8 --with-irq=3 --with-transmitter --enable-sandboxed --with-driver=serial

root@mythtv# make

i'll update this thread with a complete script when i get it completed.

would you post the contents of your /etc/modules/remote file?

thanks,
jim

remoted.conf file:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# this config file is based on the JVC_4700 file, but uses the RAW
# format to include several packets back to back. This works around
# some timing problems when used to transmit signals to the box.
# I crafted this file using a C program(jvc_raw.c, which was based
# on jvc_send.c). Hopefully you don't need those programs.

one thing, do not change hex 61's. One of my early mistakes.
I also changed /etc/modutils/KnoppMyth to include a line :

include /etc/mythtv/modules/ir

The /etc/mythtv/modules/ir file contains:

path[toplevel]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
alias char-major-72 remote_serial
add below remote_serial remote_dev
options remote_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8
#options remote_serial irq=3 io=0x2f8

for most com2's the commented out line would be used.
My blaster is on com1.

additionally I added in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh the following lines:

/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
/sbin/modprobe remote_serial
/usr/local/sbin/remoted

Hope this helps.

Amy

Thanks. I used this to setup lirc for another myth box I'm playing with. The only oddity I found was that the compile for the second instance of lirc was failing. Tracked it down to a reference to include file linux/modversions.h. No such animal,created a zero length file of same name and it chugged right along and is now working so obviously whatever was expected in that file was not needed. This was with V4R3.

At any rate, this was a lot easier on the fingers than the other one.
