Hi guru's. I'm enjoying my myth box so far, but just this one piece of the puzzle is driving me insane. I hope someone can shed some light on this for me. My setup External IR LED on a db9 female connector http://www.irtrans.de/en/shop/cable.php If I reverse the pins on the serial connector I get a light, so this means that there is power. I have a Hauppauge PVR-350. And the remote is working perfectly. So according to my understanding, I should be able to use the config to try and send via the serial IR. The problem I have is, when I try to send nothing happens on the IR LED. Everything else seems to work perfectly. No errors at all. I have no idea how to shoot this trouble any further. Is there anyone here with any ideas of what I can try next. Thanx a mil. Here is some configs, # dmesg ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A <-- begin modprobe.conf --> alias char-major-61-0 lirc_i2c alias char-major-61-1 lirc_serial options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8 install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c install lirc_serial setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none; /sbin/modprobe -- ignore-install lirc_serial <-- end modprobe.conf --> <-- begin rc.local --> /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe lirc_serial /usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 --output=/dev/lircd /usr/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1 -- output=/dev/lircd1 --pidfile=/var/run/lircd1.pid <-- end rc.local --> irw 000000000000178d 00 Menu grayHauppauge 000000000000178d 01 Menu grayHauppauge 000000000000178d 02 Menu grayHauppauge irsend --device=/dev/lircd1 SEND_START grayHauppauge Menu /var/log/messages Aug 29 22:03:16 myth lircd-0.7.1[4331]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd1 Aug 29 22:03:17 myth lircd-0.7.1[4331]: removed client |

I am no "guru" and I can only make some suggestions for what they are worth: Have you enabled IR config in your computer BIOS? It seems that you can select COM2 (/dev/ttys1) to be either an ordinary COM port or an IR port. Your config details refer to /dev/ttys0 or COM1. Is that the port you need? The standard seems to be that IR is on COM2, but I am not experienced enough to say that it is always the case. You may need to change the IRQ to match the COM port. I think that the standard config file does this for you. HTH, Doug.
