Re: mceusb2

Hi Joseph,

Can you tell me what make and model of mce device you have. Does the
device start to blink when you run the irsend command. 

If it blink, how close to the ir-window of your device have you placed
the emitter. The signal strength when using the original emitters just
enough to handle a centimeter or two at max. Also some devices needs to
have the ir-signal repeated at least two or three times in order to be
recognized as a valid command, there should be a repeat value for this
in your remote configuration file.
