Hi, Léo,

2009/1/22 Léo <leo...@ya...>:
> I did it. The remote is working, but with the keypress doubling problem. And, again, doubling the gap value, solved the keypress doubling problem. Is there some documentation about what means this param in lircd.conf?

Is it working with the CVS config file? That's nice. I have to do some
more tests at home, but I think I'll end up asking Christoph to change
the value in CVS to 400 us.

The gap value is the timespan that the remote waits between the end of
a key transmission and the beginning of the next one if you leave the
key pressed. So if you double the gap, probably you're skipping the
each second key transmission, simply because lircd skips the timespan
during which the key is actually being transmitted a second time.

How are you translating IR keys to linux keys? Are you using the new
synthetic input option of the CVS lircd? Or are you configuring key
generation through irxevent and a .lircrc configuration file?

In the second case, you could adjust the "repeat" parameter in
.lircrc, as explained in
http://www.lirc.org/html/configure.html#lircrc_format.

I guess that if your are in the first case, that is, using the new
input support in the CVS version of lircd, there's no support for
anything having the same effect as the repeat parameter yet.

You should try leaving the gap alone and checking whether irw outputs
what's expected: a lot of key lines in a row with an increasing
sequence number when you leave the key pressed. Each line is actually
one time your remote has sent the code key (or a special repetition
code, that seems to be the case with the "repeat line" in the remote
lircd.conf file).


Best regards,

   Juan Jesús.
