[mythtv-users] Troubleshooting an IR Blaster

[William]

First thing to try is turn the LED around. You may have cathode and anode
reversed. Check your camera with a working remote to make sure the camera
actually sees the IR light. Check the wiring of your connector.

Last and least likely is a port that does not source enough current to turn
on the led.

Everything has gone relatively smoothly up till now, but I'm stuck at one of
the last steps. When I do

Code:
/usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend SEND_ONCE JVC_RAW 2


then ledxmitd.log shows this:

Code:
0.7.2pvr150: accepted new client on /dev/ledxmitd
Dec 20 10:31:15 mythtv ledxmitd 0.7.2pvr150: removed client


Which looks OK, but the LED, viewed through a digital camera, doesn't flash.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot a problem like this?

Thanks,

Jon
