You and no one has ever answered any post I've made asking for help.
There were many posts made by others, they did not even get a reply.
Luckily most people dont need to use LIRC, only those like myself who
use linux on a set top box, which only has control from a remote IR
controller.
I dont care if its only your hobby, but if you screw something up, at
least have the common decency to acknowledge those who ask for
assistance.
If you dont surface for months after assistance has been asked for, you
can expect wrath
