iMON LCD - need pointers to debug

[Peter B. <pb...@co...>]

I¹m a long time user, first time asker.  I¹ve used lirc with a homebrew
serial and iMON VFD, so I felt comfortable trying out the LCD.  After
searching google, fighting with modules, and finally having limited success,
I guess it¹s time to ask for help.

I have the Siverstone version of the original iMON LCD, and I¹ve been able
to get the LCD part working with lcdproc so I know I can communicate, but
the remote is killing me.  Here¹s what I¹ve done so far...

Downloaded, built and installed the stock 8.0.4a.  It creates the devices
and the syslog looks fine.  When I run mode2, it tells me to run it in raw
mode.  No matter what I do, I don¹t get any output.

Downloaded, built and installed cvs HEAD.  I have the same problem.

I¹m using the matching remote.

I seem to remember howto somewhere that had instructions on getting into the
guts and watching the raw stream, and if someone can point me to that, I¹m
willing to do a bit more legwork.  I don¹t have an oscilloscpe, but I do
have a multimeter, so I can do some basic poking around if need be.  I¹ve
read through the FAQ and did a quick browse of the list archive, but without
a search, it was a bit rough.  I¹m totally willing to RTFM if you can point
me in the right direction.  Thank you in advance for any help.
