LIRC and USB-UIRT on Fedora 10

[Peter F. Patel-S. <pf...@re...>]

Hi:

I just got a USB-UIRT device and I'm trying to set it up under Fedora
10.  My problem is that I'm getting checksum errors, which I notice used
to be a problem (but that appear to have been fixed).

Fedora 10 has most of the support stuff for lirc and usb-uirt already,
so there is not too much to be done.

I get to the part of starting lircd, which I ended up doing
non-daemonized for testing purposes.  I get output like:


idefix 194> sudo /usr/sbin/lircd  -n --device=/dev/ttyUSB0
--driver=usb_uirt_raw
[sudo] password for pfps: 
lircd-0.8.4a[9624]: lircd(usb_uirt_raw) ready
lircd-0.8.4a[9624]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd-0.8.4a[9624]: uirt2_raw: checksum error
lircd-0.8.4a[9624]: uirt2_raw: UIRT version 0905 ok

Here the error occurs when I start up irw.

Does anyone know what might be going on?



The errors appear to be partly limiting what I can do, but I did manage
to learn part of my SONY RM-PJHS10 using irrecord.  However, the process
was painful, and I couldn't get all of the buttons learned, probably
because of the repeated checksum errors I encountered.


Any help would be welcome.
