IR SEND AND RECEIVE: Which is the best solution for HG ? USB device type ?

[beller]

i'm running HG r345 from months in a raspberry PI v.2, i would to add support for IR send/receive , could i use this stable r345 version for me ? or is it better that i update to new releases ? are they stable ?

which USB ir send/receive device (i prefeare USB type) do i need to buy ?
is that device fully working with HG ? how to setup it ?

i have tryed a "MCE IR receiver" device type but appaers not working with HG with r345, i follow some thread here but i'm not enabled to have it working.. anyway it is only receive device, i think..

Thanks

Hi beller,

is it worth updating to the latest r364 since it's stable and have lot of fixes.

Any Lirc compatible IR receiver/transmitter will work with HG.

I am succesfully enjoying my MCE USB transceiver on one Pi box and the builtin Rpi IR receiver on the second Pi box.

There's actually a bug: if Lirc is not up and running when HG starts it probably won't enable the IR interface (you'll see it grayed out).

So ensure that Lirc is running before HG starts.

Then add the "mce" remote from the Configuration->System section.

If you need further support feel free to ask.

Cheers,
g.

in order to use the Mce USB device with lircd, if i start from r364 rasp-pi image dowloaded from website, do i need to change only the /etc/modules file to:

lirc_dev
lirc_mceusb



then, start lircd, then configure and enable ir in HG ?

this step is not clear for me..

thanks
beller

Hi beller follow instructions included in the download page:

Also in /etc/modules comment in the line with "lirc_rpi" like this:

Code: [Select]

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.

snd-bcm2835
#lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=18 gpio_out_pin=17


and reboot.

Cheers,
g.

[beller]

i have changed /etc/modules line:

MODULES="mceusb"

restarted lircd:
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart

go in HG, configure->system:

enable lirc and added:
mceusb lircd.conf.mceusb

now, how to check if it's working ?

when i press volume button on remote command it don't produce events on HG, i'm not sure if all is working..

UPDATE:
********************************
i have try this commands:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop
[ ok ] Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC:.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory
pi@raspberrypi ~ $

and appears device /dev/lirc0 is not present... ?

Beller,

you DON'T have to add the line in /etc/modules.
Please read carefully my last two messages! =)

You will see that is working because pressing a button on the remote you will see a popup event.
Also by issuing a dmseg you will have:

Hi beller,

step by step instructions follow.

1) Edit the /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file:
   sudo nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

Paste the following text into it:

Code: [Select]

########################################################
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS="--uinput"

# Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
# START_LIRCMD=false

# Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.
# START_IREXEC=false

# Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="default"
# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="mceusb"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""
########################################################

2) edit /etc/modules like this:
   sudo nano /etc/modules

Code: [Select]

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.

snd-bcm2835
#lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=18 gpio_out_pin=17

3) reboot your raspi and keep your fingers crossed =)

Cheers,
g.

it doesn't work, i think the problem is that /dev/lirc0 is not present:

Do a lsusb and paste here the result.

This is my MCE transceiver:

that is different brand/model from yours. You have to find out if yours is supported by lirc.

here it is:

very anonymous mce device =/
The vendor id is f304 the product id 05a0, but no description.
From your dmesg I see that raspi recognize it, but lirc doesn't do anything with it.

Probably you have to change the /etc/lirc/hardware.conf for using a different driver than mceusb.

Ain't a lirc expert, so I suggest to google and find lirc settings for your specific mce device model.

try this:
