RE: Linux PC as a Wifi to IR bridge? (LIRC)

Have a look at Irtrans.  They have an IP-IR bridge, in/out...very simple!

Thanks, it looked feasible, I was mainly interested in hearing from those
who've tried the same thing & what their experiences were/are.

Yes this will be an important part to get right, thanks!

lirc-i2c does no longer work with Hauppauge HVR-1300?

Hi, 

I have a Hauppauge HVR-1300 TV-Card with a bundled remote, which worked
fine with lirc-i2c + 2.6.28.x in Ubuntu 9.04. Unfortunately, I can't
remember which lirc version it was. Now, with Linux 2.6.31.x and lirc
0.8.5 and also 0.8.6 it doesn't work. I tested with Gentoo Linux
and Ubuntu 9.10 (beta). I'm not getting the /dev/lirc0 device node, and
the device is not listed in /proc/bus/input/devices.

# uname -r
Ubuntu: 2.6.31-11-generic
Gentoo: 2.6.31-gentoo-r1

# dmesg | grep lirc
[   31.798564] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61

# lsmod | grep lirc
lirc_i2c                8996  0
lirc_dev               14120  1 lirc_i2c

The i2c binding model changed considerably between 2.6.29 and  
2.6.31[*], not sure if its an issue with the driver for the HVR-1300  
or with lirc_i2c, will have to look into it. Not sure off the top of  
my head what driver the HVR-1300 uses though.

[*] devices are supposed to provide all the info necessary for drivers  
to bind to them, so its likely the HVR-1300's driver isn't providing  
binding info we recognize as being legitimate for lirc_i2c to connect  
to. Could be that we need to add something to lirc_i2c, could also be  
that the HVR-1300 driver is lacking. We might also consider doing  
something similar to the ir-i2c-kbd driver, and try legacy probing if  
no devices with proper config info are found...

I have the identical issue with my current Ubuntu 9.04, 2.6.31.x
kernel and lirc 0.8.6, but with a Hauppauge PVR-1600.

They share the same model of remote hardware; just wanted to add
another data point on this.

Not all buttons are detected with irw

Hi,

i'm trying to use lirc with my hauppauge remote control.

General informations:
  OS: Gentoo Linux
  KDE: 4.3.1
  Lirc: 0.8.5
  Remote Control: Hauppauge (WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 http://www.hauppauge.de/de/site/products/data_novahds2.html)
  Device node: /dev/input/event5

1. I installed lirc
2. I generated the lircd.conf with "irrecord -H devinput -d /dev/input/event5"
    for all buttons the keycode was added to the config
3. started "lircd -n -H devinput -d /dev/input/event5"
4. tried irw to test lirc
    only a few buttons like 1-0, up, down, left, right, volume up, volume down were detected
5. for volume up/down KDE even increases/decreases the volume

Any ideas why the other buttons aren't detected?

Regards,
Christoph

Troublesome remote control HPM XL400ESD and USB-UIRT


Hello all.

I am hoping to get some help in configuring a particularly difficult remote
control I have. This remote does not appear to be in the lirc remote
database. I am going to put as much information here as I can think of to
help figure this out.
I have configured a handful of remote controls already without problems, but
this one appears to be a bit different from the conventional remote. It is
used to toggle and dim ceiling lights via the wall switch. (HPM part number
XL400ESD). The remote has only one button, tapping it toggles the light
on/off and holding it down will dim the light up or down.
My transceiver is a USB-UIRT which has worked flawlessly with other remotes,
in both detecting and reproducing IR signals, so I am confident the problem
is not the device nor drivers.
I am using the latest lirc 0.8.6.
when I run irrecord, this is what I get:

<snip>

Now start pressing buttons on your remote control.

It is very important that you press many different buttons and hold them
down for approximately one second. Each button should generate at least one
dot but in no case more than ten dots of output.
Don't stop pressing buttons until two lines of dots (2x80) have been
generated.

Press RETURN now to start recording.

Try something like this:

  flags RAW_CODES|CONST_LENGTH
  eps            30
  aeps          100

              500    3600     450    3550     500    3550

Hey, thanks for the help.

I tried that config exactly as listed but unfortunately the code wouldn't
transmit:

---
irsend --address=localhost:8765 SEND_ONCE bdr-longshot1 1
irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE bdr-longshot1 1
irsend: transmission failed
