Re: mceusb2 sending, but not being picked up

[Daniel M <ra...@us...>]

Hi all,

Thanks to some new information about the mce protocol I got from Kevin
Timmerman I have almost finished a new path for the mceusb2 driver that
should let you choose the transmission carrier frequency. 

Currently the carrier is always set to it's default which is often way
of from the range that many devices are built to accept. Fixing this
will somewhat improve the range of the blasters.

With the patch the mce driver will use the lirc default of 38kHz if
nothing else is specified in the remote configuration.

I will realease the patch as soon I get the time to clean it up.
