[mythtv-users] ActiSys IR200L

[Adrian Burden]

I am using Mandrake 9, but will switch to get this thing running.
I have had my Pinnacle receiver running with NP.
I recompiled lirc for the Actisys, then setserial, modprobe lirc_sir,
lircd and things seem ok.
I then turn on irw and I get nothing. I do get information from mode2,
and I know the previous lircd.conf worked with my pinnacle remote ok.
I tried creating a new irrecord, but the Actisys seems to have problems
reading the remote signals. I usually get errors like 'something's
wrong', 'can not decode remote'.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers...

Hi Michael,
	I am in the middle of the same thing, having no luck at all.
	I am in the middle of recompiling a fresh kernel to see if that
helps.
	What distro are you using?
	I left a message last week looking for help with no response. I
have read that it can be done, but how?

	I will keep in touch and let you know how I do.

Cheers...

I've been trying to get an ActiSys IR200L irda device working, but no 
success.  Yes, I've consulted the documentation, specifically section 
8.7.  I've followed those instructions to the letter.  I compiled the 
lirc package and installed it successfully.  I can modprobe the 
lirc_sir module and it appears to be loaded.  I have a lircd.conf file 
in /etc.  I can also run lircd and it seems to be happy until I try to 
run anything that uses it, such as irw or irrecord.

   # /usr/local/sbin/lircd -n
   lircd 0.6.6: lircd(act200l) ready

When I run irw, it returns immediately with no output, and lircd 
reports the following:

   lircd 0.6.6: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
   lircd 0.6.6: could not get hardware features
   lircd 0.6.6: this device driver does not support the new LIRC
interface
   lircd 0.6.6: make sure you use a current version of the driver
   lircd 0.6.6: caught signal
   Terminated

Anyone else using an ActiSys IR200L?  If so, did you follow the doc 
section 8.7 and get it working?  I'm using lirc 0.6.6.

Thanks!
-Mike
