antec fusion imon IR/LCD requiring 2 button presses from Harmony 880 as MCE
|

Hi,
The basic problem I'm having is that it often takes two keypresses on my remote to get the system to respond. I'm using mythbuntu 8.10 AMD64, lirc 0.8.4a (compiled from source) and an Antec Veris Fusion 430 case which has an integrated iMON IR/LCD receiver, identified in lsmod as:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller
For my remote I'm using a Logitech Harmony 880 acting as a Windows MCE remote, inter-key delay 300ms, inter-device delay 100ms, repeat 0.
Looking at the output of mode2 (below), the receiver is seeing each keypress as two events, which I understand is one for button-press and one for button-release, all normal. Holding down a button repeats the command as it should.
IRW on the other hand, reflects the behavior that is giving me fits. Pressing a button once has no effect, pressing it twice registers a 00, 01 pair (button-down, button-up). Holding down a button on the first press displays nothing in irw, but if held down on the second press it will repeat as it should.
I tried loading /remotes/generic/RC-5, RC-6, and RESC80 via irrecord then restarting /etc/init.d/lirc and all allowed irw to receive commands, but all exhibited the "two-button-presses required" problem.
Here is the /dev/lirc* output showing the devices.
dorkbot@DB5K01:/var/log$ ls -la /dev/lirc*
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 2009-01-21 20:22 /dev/lirc0
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2009-01-21 20:22 /dev/lircd
Next I installed the latest build from CVS (1/21/2009) with iMON IR/LCD driver and debugging enabled. After installing latest CVS build, /etc/init.d/lirc will load without errors, but when I run mode2 I get the following results:
dorkbot@DB5K01:/var/log$ sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 --raw
This program is only intended for receivers supporting the pulse/space layer.
Note that this is no error, but this program simply makes no sense for your
receiver.
In order to test your setup run lircd with the --nodaemon option and
then check if the remote works with the irw tool.
dorkbot@DB5K01:/var/log$ sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
mode2: could not get hardware features
mode2: this device driver does not support the new LIRC interface
mode2: make sure you use a current version of the driver
I also want to provide the output of irrecord in DEBUG mode as requested but don't know if there is a switch I need, but as of upgrading to the latest CVS irrecord won't work as it did above with any of the lircd.conf files that worked before: RC-5, RC-6, RESC80, mceusb, antec.veris.
I'm willing to try anything, want to understand lirc and I'm highly motivated to figure this out. Your help and experience are very much appreciated.
