<DIV>Thanks to everyone who helped and responded. I was hung up on seeing the ir led light up more then just putting it in front of the box and issuing a change channel command :).</DIV>
<DIV>Yep, it's working fine. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>did you select the option "With transmitter diode"? Just in case, for both diodes it matters which way round they go. 1N4148 needs to point with the dark line towards the resistor and the IR LED needs to point with the longer leg towards the resistor. Also, what resistor are you using? I use 1K6 and the range is litterally inches, which is sufficient for me as I have mounted it right in front of the device, but would not be any use over distance. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have just built the simple serial transmitter from the lirc page. So far I've had no luck getting it to work.</DIV>
<DIV>Facts: Used a db9 shell one wire out of DTR and one out of GRND, DTR lead to first diode, GRND to short lead on IR emitter. I don't have a voltometer. Circuit looks like diagram.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>DId a ./setup.sh , chose homebrew (did this more then once , with make uninsall and distclea), I think the right options are transmitter diode, not sure about software carrier. </DIV>
<DIV>Drivers (Lirc_serial and Lirc_dev) both load fine. Problem nothing works. Also when I do a cat /proc/interrupts nothing is showing up for the lirc_serial driver. Odd ? Just to make sure my serial port was working, I switched back to the Actisys and it showed up on irq3 . Not to confuse though, the drivers and files were uninstalled. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A few people using win lirc say that instead of the lead out of DTR it should be TX. I tried that also , with no change.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas?</DIV>
