[Ilya Roitburg]

Did you connect the device by your self? If so, be sure that you've
connect it to 5V.

	Hi Chris,
	
	I have a X11 not X15, but I a pretty sure they use the same IR
Receiver. They use the IR Trans USB modules. The lirc compatible server
for the IR receivers can be found at
http://www.irtrans.de/en/download/linux.php
	
	You run the irserver application as a daemon and it provides a
LIRC compatible interface for LIRC applications like Myth. You will also
need to download the IRTrans client to teach the irserver your remote
control's buttons. 
	
	Post back here if you have any problems and I will help if I
can, what remote control are you using and what linux distro? I can post
my Gentoo init.d scripts for irserver if you would like.
	
	Cheers,
	
	Roo.

Thankyou.

I have found and downloaded the software, have checked dmesg and I can
see the the receiver is being found. It is being attached to
/dev/ttyUSB0 but when I start the server for testing it says "cant open
ttyUSB0". I must be close.  :-) )

 

I'm running fedora 5 and the remote was supplies with the case....

 


Hi Chris,

It does sound like you are close.  Are you running irserver as root or
another user? 

I am using Gentoo and I run irserver as root (I really should fix this
and run it as a less privileged user) and it starts OK.

Maybe you need to add the user you are running irserver as to the "tty"
group, on my system  "/dev/ttyUSB0" is owned by root:tty 

Also, I think it has been fixed but, you used to have to create a
"remotes" directory, I created it at "/usr/local/share/irtrans/remotes",
if you look through the source code you will find other possible
locations for the "remotes" directory, but I don't remember them off the
top of my head. 

Hope this helps you get it going, good luck.

PS: Top posting is frowned upon on the Myth mailing lists :-)

 

 

Close but no cigar I'm afraid....

 

Created directories moved IRServer into/usr/local/share/irtrans/

 

I'm getting the following error  

 

            IRServer Version 5.6.08

            No IRTrans Devices found

            Aborting.........

 

Last line about USB/Serial

            Registered new driver ftdi_sio

            Drivers/usb/serial/ftdi.sio.c:V1.4.3:USB FTDI Serial
Converters Driver

 

Sounds like the hardware is being recognized and drivers loaded OK, but
the server can't "see" it

 

 

Thanks for all your help

 

Chris

 

PS forgot in all the excitement..
