This isn't a completely LIRC-based question... but I'm hoping that someone can help. I posted a couple of weeks ago that I was trying to get the IR received and LFE working on my Ahanix MCE-302 case. Someone here pointed out to me that it was an irtrans unit. So, I went to their website and downloaded the software they had. It's a little interesting. There's an "irserver" daemon which listens on several ports so that LCDd can connect to it and run the LFE (which I have done) and it also claims to emulate a LIRC daemon (on the standard port), so that lirc clients can connect to this port and receive decoded IR commands. The only problem is that I think it uses a different configuration file for decoding the various signals from remotes.... so running mode2 or other LIRC tools wouldn't help because 1) They'd generate the wrong format of codes and, 2) they can't even gain access to the raw IR data anyway. IRTrans' website says that their unit can be trained to just about any remote... but they don't say *how*. Any suggestions? - Joe |

Any suggestions? There are two applications that you should be able to get learn the ir commands, a Windows program, called irtrans and a linux client, called, guess what, irclient. Both clients should be able to learn command remotely but for me worked better when running on the localhost. The server is pretty fast at learning commands, something you think that you hardly pressed the button before it comes back. AFAICT the built-in webserver is a bit flaky but it may be possible to use this for learning commands. You can start it with options like: /usr/local/sbin/irserver -start_clock -daemon -netmask 192.168.0.0/24 -netmask 192.168.2.0/24 -logfile /var/log/irserver.log -loglevel 4 -pidfile /var/run/irserver.pid /dev/ttyUSB0 HTH Duncan |
