Nick, First off, thanks for answering my question. >In the past when controlling 2 different serial devices with the >lirc_serial kernel module you had to build a second instance of the >modules with non-conflicting name and major/minor device numbers. >Please see >http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html >for more information. I think is the route I will have to go as my disto only produces one lirc_serial module. I checked out the link and noted the --with-major=72 option used to compile the serial driver. I take it 72 is a safe major number to use? >If you have a soldering iron to hand, it is possible to run both the >receiver and transmitter off a single serial port, which requires only >a single instance of LIRC running and simplifies things a lot. I do, but I'm afraid my soldering skills aren't very good. I actually purchased the receiver and transmitter after using my own home brewed device for a while. While it worked fine, it wasn't exactly a shining example of craftsmanship. rick _________________________________________________________________ Win a webcam!
