[mythtv-users] Others experience with LIRC and Atisys200L

[Adrian Burden]

Hi Michael..

I can record etc but can not get the transmit to work properly. I was
getting the busy device till I removed the serial module or used
setserial. I do get the unbalanced error, not sure if that is a problem.

For Red Hat 8 I followed the instructions and made the /usr/src/linux
link point to my kernel source. Recompiled my kernel and changed my
serial to a module.

I then downloaded lirc-0.7pre1, configured with 6 (IRDA Device), 4
(Actisys 200l).
make and make install.

Put this line in modules.conf
alias char-major-61 lirc_sir

/sbin/ldconfig
/sbin/depmod -a

removed the serial module from my recompiled kernel.
modprobe -r serial.o
Inserted the module, this does both receive and transmit.
modprobe lirc_sir
/usr/local/sbin/lircd 

You should get something with mode2 now.

I then was able to use irrecord, load in a template and create my own
lircd.conf file.
I can record ok, but transmission is still a mystery. I know I am
sending a signal by looking at the blaster with my video camera. I have
posted a question on the lirc.org list and I am waiting for a reply.

Cheers...

Hello all,
First off, I would like to say I love this project.  I have most all mof
my mythTv components working now, except for this on snag... I am having
the worst time getting the ActiSys200L to work as an IR transmitter.

Current configuration:
RedHat8
Lirc 0.6.6 [using lirc_sir module]
New Via Mobo w/both serial ports turned on

I have tried two different redhat kernels, with serial support built-in
and modularized.  I have have varied results with different settings,
but can never get this to work perfect.  The best I have done so far is
to see output with mode2 program, and irrecord a settings file, but
never get any output from irw after recording a new settings file.  I
have tried different remotes as well.

I have seen varying errors loading the lirc_sir module. [resource busy
and unbalanced irq(4).]  

Can aynone who has this adapter working on redhat share a modules.conf
file and rc.d configuration that worked for them. When to use setserial,
etc.

Also, any good info on loading two different lirc modules, one for
recieving and one for transmitting.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks, Mike
