Re: cvs and old imon-pad not working?!?

[Michael B. <mi...@br...>]

Hi,

adapted my old imon-pad2keys patch for use with cvs current. It now extracts 
the x-/y-components from the incoming packet and feeds them into the 
stabilize() function. Generated codes are the same as for the newer imon-
devices (i.e. 01008000, 01007F00 ...).

Pad is working again but feels a bit un-responsive. The IMON_PAD_THRESHOLD 
seems to be a bit to high. Maybe this one should be made user-adjustable 
through a module parameter?

There are still many downloads of the original patch from my page
(http://www.brakemeier.de/electronics/vdr/lirc-imon.html), so please,
could someone be so nice and add this one to cvs?

Autodetect: It seems there really exist vfd *and* lcd devices sharing the usb-
id 15c2::ffdc. Is there a chance to actually probe for the correct type 
instead of simply looking at it's id?

Regards,
Michael.
