It's a year later.... Hi, I was rebuilding my mythtv box which has been using lirc and the USB Infrared Toy from dagerousprototypes.com to control mythtv very successfully for quite some time. But this go around I wanted to also control my TV from the USB Infrared Toy. (For those who may not know, the USB Infrared Toy is a PIC (microchip.com) based IR receiver and transmitter which uses the PIC's USB peripheral hardware to connect to your computer.) To do this I have been chasing down what support there might already be to help in the transmission of IR signals from the USB Infrared Toy to my Sony TV. I have connected the dots to this (i.e. this particular thread I'm typing into now). That is, to this lirc patch submission by Peter Kooiman. I've downloaded the Peter's patch and looked for the associated files in the lirc GIT repository. Specifically I looked for "daemons/hw_usbirtoy.c" but did not find it. I looked here: > http://lirc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lirc/lirc;a=tree;f=daemons;h=3a413ac0244dd6afa550aa17ff6a0f5c2da27e57;hb=HEAD So, I assume the support to transmit IR signals using the USB Infrared Toy PIC based dongle from dagerousprototypes.com does not exist for Linux based Mythtv users as it is not part of the lirc.org effort? If true, do any have an alternate suggestion? -thanks On 09/02/2011 03:08 AM, Peter Kooiman wrote: > [As plain text this time, sorry!] > Hello, > > > Attached two patches that add support for the Dangerous Prototypes USB Remote Toy receiver/transmitter, for review and possible inclusion. > Patches are against git HEAD. > > Peter > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE! > Finally, a world-class log management solution at an even better > price-free!
