Re: Modified hw_pinsys driver to be compatible with kanam/accent remote controller

[Karl B. <ka...@tu...>]

Leandro, You might be right on this one with your modified hw_pinsys.c
driver.  I found some pictures of the hardware, and it looks like it
has a 20-pin microcontroller and power control.  If it has a micro,
then it is probably "smart"(decodes the signal, sends back a key at
1200 baud).  It is possible that lirc_sir could read this data too,
or perhaps Peter has a different model.  Anyway, the picture
didn't look like just a IR receiver on a IRDA header.
