| Post subject: | serial lirc R5A12 - SOLVED |
I set up a serial IR receiver using the wiki (great instructions - thanks) for an R4 machine - worked great. Now I am trying to do it for my R5A12 and have not been successful (followed the wiki as closely as possible with minor changes for R5 - obviously wrong though). I have searched the forum (and wiki) to no avail. Has anybody gotten it working? |

i was the one that wrote the original howto (now on the wiki) post for r4v5. i did try to get it working with r5 but couldnt get it.. however i definatly wouldnt say its R5's fault as i am still learning linux. since then i just bought an IRman and it works perfect with r5Ax. im sure myself or more likely somebody will make it work at some point in the near'ish future. |

It would help if you gave details instead of it doesn't work. |

I have tried to set up a serial IR receiver (both COM1 and COM2) following the wiki instructions and the Mythtv documentation (http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-8.html). I have tried running irrecord to see if there is any detection and I get errors (cannot detect LIRC device). I am just curious to know if anybody has gotten it working. |

Thanks gr8nash - I did finally get it working and will update the wiki. The short version follows - following the wiki: 1. the symlink (linux) is fine - skip that 2. In the misc. setup section, edit /etc/modprobe.d/lirc to read alias char-major-61 lirc_serial and install lirc_dev /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_dev; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_serial 3. I also created an 'lirc' in modutils with one line - alias char-major-61 lirc_serial 4. update-modules 5. finish the misc. setup and reboot... |
