Hi
i got a homemade ir device, how do i use it with Knopmyth?
i tryed to look at the wiki, but it seems to be outdated?
isent there a easy way to just test if my ir device works?
should i be able to do a cat /dev/ttyS1 and then catch garbage or?
I got a logitech remote, so i need to do the lirc record config thing in order to get the codes for the keys, but first i need to figure out how to get lirc to run, can any help here?

isent there a easy way to check if it works? cat /dev/ttsy1 or something like that?

for a receiver, you run mode2, point a remote at it and start pressing buttons. If all is well, you should start seeing things (pulse timing info) written to standard output.
If you configure your box for a blaster as described in that previous post, then you would use the command:
mode2 -d /dev/irblaster
man mode2 for more info.
cat /dev/ttyS1 will not work because it doesnt use the com port data lines.

i did what that guide said, am i supposed to do anything else? run some kind of script?
Code: root@mythtv:~# dmesg | grep lirc
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
root@mythtv:~# Code: root@mythtv:~# dmesg | grep serial
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
root@mythtv:~# if i run that mode2 thing i get: Code: root@mythtv:~# mode2 -d /dev/ttyS1
This program is only intended for receivers supporting the pulse/space layer.
Note that this is no error, but this program simply makes no sense for your
receiver.
In order to test your setup run lircd with the --nodaemon option and
then check if the remote works with the irw tool. if i run that irblaster script i get: Code: root@mythtv:~# /usr/local/bin/irblaster.sh
Do you have an IR Blaster?

Which comm port is the blaster attached to?
a) COM1
b) COM2
c) COM3
d) COM4
a

sorry for being a dum ass, oh btw the wiki is down?

Make /etc/init.d/irblaster executable with the following command: Code: chmod a+x /etc/init.d/irblaster
The device you should be specifying with the mode2 command is /dev/irblaster, not /dev/ttyS1

Whatever you did to copy the /etc/init.d/irblaster script from the post to your system seems to have royally screwed it. Try again. Make sure that you dont end up with dos style line endings and make sure that it is executable. Also make sure that you dont inadvertantly break lines.

/dev/irblaster gets created by /etc/init.d/irblaster.
If it is not working correctly, it will not create it.
Does root have access to edit /etc/modprobe.d/KnoppMyth? This is required.
Have you copied a lirc config file to /etc/irblaster/irblasterd.conf?

I havent copyed a lirc config go etc/irblaster/irblaster.conf
as i need to use the key record program to create the keys for my remote? i have a Logitech Harmony 525
and last tme i got it work, with lircd, i had to first get the serial ir device to work, then i recoreded my keys, and assigned them names. Then i copyed that conf to lirc, and then i sat up what key that should do what in the system.

That may be a bit of a hole in the way it works. I suggest just puting any old lircd.conf file in as /etc/irblaster/irblaster.conf. Otherwise, the irblasterd daemon will not be started for you.

Your script must still be horribly screwed up.
Can you post the output of: Code: cat /etc/init.d/irblaster

madsholme, the R5C7 has been released. It has all of the irblaster updates, so upgrading to that should hopefully solve your problems.
