I had no luck sending with a Actisys IR-200L. Works find under windoze
but under LIRC it has a locked sending frequency. I did get it running,
but not vert reliable. I ended up building a homebrew transmitter, and
it works like a charm..

Cheers...

Subject: [mythtv-users] Actisys + Lircd + channel.pl = not sending....

I know this is not a list for Lirc but I wanted to see if anyone has
come across this before. Everything with the install
goes fine until I try to change the channel by hand with the channel
script. This is what I have done...


Actisys IR-200L

setup.sh
setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
make
make install

modprobe lirc_sir
cp remotes/motorola/DCT2000 /etc/lircd.conf
chmod 666 /dev/lircd

lsmod - lirc_sir module is loaded
/usr/local/sbin/lircd


irw - watching for commands but nothing happens just sits there waiting

/usr/local/bin/channel.pl 30



Nothing errors either in /var/log/lircd or /var/log/messages

Lircd is running and loads the Actisys IR-200L driver on startup


I also ran a script call channel.sh and it gives me errrors saying the
device only allows recieving commands not sending. I
then searched the archives and found someone that added something to
their configure string for lirc for transmitter. That
also produced the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ack, I wonder why they mention the Actisys in the MythTv Docs? This blows... Anyone out there have this working?
