Hey Richard. If you could just verify a few things for me, seeing as
you have a working setup with all this:
1. In your lirc_options.conf are the driver and device default, and
/dev/lirc0 respectively?
2. What related modules are loaded? I'd assume obviously serial_ir,
and probably lirc_dev(?), but I'd assume that ir-lirc-codec would NOT
be there.
Thanks in advance. I want to at least be clear on something here.
Thanks!
Tom
