That did it, the serial receiver is working perfectly now. Also <tt>/etc/modules
</tt>and <tt>/etc/modprobe.d/aliases</tt> were still referencing <tt>'lirc_i2c'
</tt>instead of '<tt>lirc_serial</tt>'. And lastly I needed to update<font

/etc/modprobe.conf <font color="black" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"
size="2">based on this thread: <a

Thanks so much for your information, it helped set me down the right
path.<br>

<pre wrap="">I could be wrong but I don't believe the serial port
has a true power source coming from one of the pins so
you probably won't get a steady voltage coming from
any of the pins.
I built a homebrew receiver but I used the USB port so
I'm somewhat familiar with this. First of all, I'd
reboot and do a #setserial -g /dev/ttyS* to make sure
the port you're setting off is truly the ttyS0. Then
once that looks good, I'd do a
#cd /dev/lirc
#ls -asl
You shouldn't have anything since you haven't
modprobe'd yet.
with the device plugged in do a modprobe lirc_serial
the do a #ls -asl to see what's created based on your
post it should be /dev/lirc/0 make sure this is
correct.
Then start lircd. I'd start it this way
lircd --device=/dev/lirc/0 --output=/dev/lircd
make sure the lircd output device was created then
instead of using mode2 I'd use xmode2
#xmode2 -d /dev/lircd
push some buttons on any IR remote and you should see
the waveform.
