Installation instructions to get LCD working on Soundgraph iMON Antec Veris
 +
 +
Install LCDd application:
 +
{{Code box|sudo apt-get install lcdproc|}}
 +
 +
Verify that you have an LCD and not a VFD:
 +
{{Code box|lsusb | grep -i 15c2|}}
 +
 +
If you get a device other than the :ffdc or :0038, it's likely not yet supported by lcdproc.
 +
 +
If lsusb returns nothing, then lirc isn't finding your device. Ensure that it's plugged in and powered up. Verify that the lirc_imon module is loaded:
 +
 +
{{Code box|lsmod | grep lirc|}}
 +
 +
=== Edit LCDd.conf File ===
 +
 +
Edit the LCDd.conf file:
 +
{{Code box|sudo gedit /etc/LCDd.conf|}}
 +
 +
Look for the "Driver=" line around line 53. Change it to read:
 +
{{Code box|Driver=imonlcd|}}
 +
 +
Find the [imonlcd] section around line #557.
 +
Ensure that the "Protocol=" line matches your device. 0 for the :ffdc, 1 for the :0038
 +
Set the "OnExit=" line to your liking.
 +
Ensure that the device on the "Device=" line exists:
 +
{{Code box|ls /dev/lcd*|}}
 +
 +
{{Code box|~/etc/LCDd.conf - Here's what my LCDd.conf file looks like|
 +
# LCDd.conf -- configuration file for the LCDproc server daemon LCDd
 +
#
 +
# This file contains the configuration for the LCDd server.
 +
#
 +
# The format is ini-file-like. It is divided into sections that start at
 +
# markers that look like [section]. Comments are all line-based comments,
 +
# and are lines that start with '#' or ';'.
 +
#
 +
# The server has a 'central' section named [server]. For the menu there is
 +
# a section called [menu]. Further each driver has a section which
 +
# defines how the driver acts.
 +
#
 +
# The drivers are activated by specifiying them in a driver= line in the
 +
# server section, like:
 +
#
 +
#  Driver=curses
 +
#
 +
# This tells LCDd to use the curses driver.
 +
# The first driver that is loaded and is capable of output defines the
 +
# size of the display. The default driver to use is curses.
 +
# If the driver is specified using the -d <driver> command line option,
 +
# the Driver= options in the config file are ignored.
 +
#
 +
# The drivers read their own options from the respective sections.
 +
 +
 +
 +
## Server section with all kinds of settings for the LCDd server ##
 +
[server]
 +
 +
# Where can we find the driver modules ?
 +
# IMPORTANT: Make sure to change this setting to reflect your
 +
#            specific setup! Otherwise LCDd won't be able to find
 +
#            the driver modules and will thus not be able to
 +
#            function properly.
 +
# NOTE: Always place a slash as last character !
 +
DriverPath=/usr/lib/lcdproc/
 +
 +
# Tells the server to load the given drivers. Multiple lines can be given.
 +
# The name of the driver is case sensitive and determines the section
 +
# where to look for further configuration options of the specific driver
 +
# as well as the name of the dynamic driver module to load at runtime.
 +
# The latter one can be changed by giving af File= directive in the
 +
# driver specific section.
 +

Info

This page contains all of the files and information I needed to get my Antec Fusion Case (Black finish, uses the newer iMon LCD 15c2:0038) and it's included Veris RM200 remote working. There is also a section describing how to setup a Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote Controller that works with this setup. Note that I used Mythbuntu 10.10, but any type of Ubuntu 10.10 should also work with this setup instructions.

It also includes instructions to get the LCD up and running.

LIRC

If you're doing a fresh install of Mythbuntu 10.10, there is no configuration to set what /dev/input/eventX device you want to utilize. So just follow the below directions to get you up and running.

Note on the Knob

The volume knob on the Antec Case should work right out of the box.

Directions to get Remote Working

Perform all of the following in order.

Step 1 - Uninstall LIRC and Reinstall it

Un-install LIRC so that any errors that were going on before won't come up. Open up a terminal, and type the following in:

Script.png sudo apt-get purge lirc


Then you want to reinstall LIRC so that we can have the configuration settings come up and we can configure lIRC. In the same terminal window, perform the following::

Script.png sudo apt-get install lirc


You'll get a configuration window within your terminal window. Here's what you are going to want to do.

First, select the Linux Dev Input:

Script.png Linux input layer (/dev/input/eventX)


If you have an IR transmitter (I didn't), go ahead and select that on the next screen

Now, in a separate terminal window (Open a new one by clicking on "File," "Open Terminal"), perform the following command to find out which event your remote is on:

Script.png cat /proc/bus/input/devices


Here is the information I got from running that (note the "event4" which is what I selected then):

Script.png cat /proc/bus/input/devices 

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=15c2 Product=0038 Version=0002
N: Name="iMON Remote (15c2:0038)"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.1-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb7/7-1/7-1:1.0/rc/rc0/input4
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd mouse1 event4
B: EV=100007
B: KEY=fff 0 400000108c0320 2d5008200000000 30000 400119000 419614100801 809e168000000000 200000010004002
B: REL=103


Mine was "event4," so I selected that on the last screen. Select whatever event your is on (i.e. - The event under H: Handlers)

Now that we have finished the configuration for LIRC, type in "irw" (without the quotes) in the terminal, press the mouse/keyboard toggle button on your controller (mine was right below the stop button), and start pressing buttons on your remote.

If all goes well, you should be seeing key presses output. You're almost there.

Now, go to:


Script.png MythTV Frontend -> Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> General

Under the "Remote Control" screen, change the LIRC daemon socket to "/dev/lircd"

Step 2 - Button Configuration

After you have performed the above, you'll have to configure your buttons to work properly with MythTV. To do this, go ahead and edit this file: ~/.lirc/mythtv To edit, go to a terminal window and type "gedit ~/.lirc/mythtv" (without quotes), or if you use vim "vim ~/.lirc/mythtv"

Here is what my button configuration looks like, this should work for you as well:

Now make a new file (or edit the old one) ~/.lirc/irexec with the following contents. Make sure to replace 'user' with your username (not mythtv).

Script.png ~/.lirc/irexec 

# LIRCRC Auto Generated by Mythbuntu Lirc Generator
# Author(s): Mario Limonciello, Nick Fox, John Baab, edited by Chris Murphy
# Created for use with Mythbuntu

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_POWER
    config = /home/user/Scripts/runmyth.sh &
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_EJECTCD
    config = /home/user/Scripts/eject.sh &
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_EJECTCLOSECD
    config = /home/user/Scripts/eject.sh &
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end


A few notes about the above keys. They were adapted from a conversation on ubuntuforums.org: 

   * The knob sends the same codes for volume up/down as the remote on devinput, so that part was dropped.
   * Videos, Music, Pictures, TV, and DVD are configured for JumpPoints. Step 4 discusses the procedures for this.
   * Menu Up (KEY_CONTEXT_MENU) and Menu Down (KEY_COMPOSE), the buttons to the left and right of the joystick, are commercial skip backward (Q) and forward (Z), respectively.
   * App Launcher (KEY_DASHBOARD) is the on-screen guide, and Task Switcher (KEY_CYCLEWINDOWS) is info.
   * Star (toggles channel favorites and hash (#) is Delete (D)

Step 3 - irexec Files

We need to setup two irexec scripts for use with irexec. These need to go in ~/Scripts and you need to chmod +x them. Note that if you have a strange setup and your main DVD drive is not /dev/sr0, you will need to change this accordingly.

Script.png ~/Scripts/eject.sh 

#!/bin/bash
eject -T /dev/sr0


Script.png ~/Scripts/runmyth.sh 

#!/bin/bash
if [ -z `ps -e -o pid,command | grep mythfrontend | grep -v grep` ]
then
    mythfrontend &
    (for i in $( seq 1 100 )
    do
        echo $i;
        sleep 0.1;
    done) | zenity --auto-close --progress --text="Starting MythTV. This may take longer than this dialog shows." --title="Starting MythTV"
else
    zenity --question --text="Are you sure you wish to exit MythTV?" --title="Exit MythTV?"
    if [ $? == 0 ]
    then
        for x in $( ps -e -o pid,command | grep mythfrontend | grep -v grep );
        do
            if [ `expr index "$x" "/"` == 1 ]
            then
                continue;
            else
                kill $x;
            fi
        done
    fi
fi


After you have completed all of the above, restart your computer (this is very important, otherwise your remote control buttons might not actually work).

Step 4 - Setup MythTV Special Keys

The last step is to make sure the coloured buttons on the remote work. To do this, go to Utilities/Setup -> Edit Keys and find the following keys under JumpPoints and set a new binding by pressing the corresponding button on the remote. Make sure you have already rebooted your computer to get the remote working right.

Live TV -> TV (Yellow)
MythGallery -> Pictures (Blue)
MythVideo -> Videos (Red)
Play DVD -> DVD (Purple)
Play music -> Music (Green)

Harmony One Universal Remote

Here are instructions on how to get a Harmony One Universal Remote control working with your MythTV box.

Note, using the configuration settings that I give with these instructions, require that you slightly change your ~/.lirc/mythtv file that we edited above. There is only a few changes which allow us to utilize an already created Logitech Harmony One remote control profile which has almost all buttons for the Antec Veris Controller.

First thing you'll want to do is open up the "Logitech Harmony Remote Software" on a Windows or Mac computer (basically the same one you used to configure your other devices to use the universal remote with). In there, you'll want to add a new device.

Use the Remote Control profile, under Media Center PC, called "Silverstone" with model number of "LC-20M"

Then created a Watch TV Activity with the proper devices (Mine had the TV, Receiver, and Media Center PC devices).

After creating that activity, I first edited it to change its name to "MythTV," then went to the "Customize Buttons" area to map the correct buttons (most of which were already correct, I just added some needed functions like the Live TV, Videos, etc.).

See below for the custom button settings:

Now, before you go and test this on your MythTV, make sure you change your ~/.lirc/mythtv file like below. Then restart your MythTV box and test your controller. You should be all set then.

LCD Installation Instructions

Installation instructions to get LCD working on Soundgraph iMON Antec Veris

Install LCDd application:

Script.png sudo apt-get install lcdproc

Verify that you have an LCD and not a VFD:

Script.png lsusb
grep -i 15c2

If you get a device other than the :ffdc or :0038, it's likely not yet supported by lcdproc.

If lsusb returns nothing, then lirc isn't finding your device. Ensure that it's plugged in and powered up. Verify that the lirc_imon module is loaded:


Script.png lsmod
grep lirc

Edit LCDd.conf File

Edit the LCDd.conf file:

Script.png sudo gedit /etc/LCDd.conf

Look for the "Driver=" line around line 53. Change it to read:

Script.png '
{{{2}}}

Find the [imonlcd] section around line #557. Ensure that the "Protocol=" line matches your device. 0 for the :ffdc, 1 for the :0038 Set the "OnExit=" line to your liking. Ensure that the device on the "Device=" line exists:

Script.png ls /dev/lcd*


Script.png ~/etc/LCDd.conf - Here's what my LCDd.conf file looks like
{{{2}}}

Restart LCDd

Script.png sudo /etc/init.d/LCDd restart

You'll now have to change setting within MythTV to get the time to be displayed. I'll post those instructions later.

Restart your computer if you still don't see the time. Then all should work.

Good Luck!
And enjoy using your newly configured remote with MythTV!!!!
