Re: change sensitivity of buttons

[Joel E. <jb...@nc...>]

Take a look at http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/technicaldetails.html for 
details about values in lircd.conf, including aeps and eps.  Timing 
values I'm referring to are just the fields in lircd.conf header.  You 
can try getting them again with irrecord to see if you get different 
values.  Try it in a dark environment, or at different distances from 
the receiver, etc.  See if you more consistent values for a particular 
situation.  Or, you can look for a premade configuration file using the 
same protocol as your remote and get the timings from it, assuming they 
are correct or close to it.  Or, alternatively, if it's a published 
specification for the remote, look it up and enter the values yourself.
