soundgraph veris (15c2:0042) don't work

[moebius <moe...@fr...>]

Bonsoir,

I've recently bought a Antec Veris Multimedia Station E-Z with a rm100 
remote

You can see it here :

Ok,
  I run an ubuntu precise but with xfce  ; anyway on another computer 
(an acer laptop) with a native precise ubuntu, results are the same ones.

uname -a says :
Linux ordi-moebius 3.2.0-35-lowlatency #34-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 18 
18:12:15 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Generic kernel gives same results anyway...
My keyboard is a french one (well nothing special, I'm french ;)  )

when typing dpkg-reconfigure lirc, I've tried several possibilities  for 
remote control configuration :
1/ Soundgraph iMON Antec Veris

I use rhythmbox with the integrated lirc plugin

Just few keys work :

enter key => play current song ; when pressing again, song is played 
again from beginning

keys up and down change selected song in  good direction

mute key lead to pop up a xfce (gnome?) notification on the top right 
corner (a crossed loudspeaker) but without any effect.

SO I've also try to extract only the rm100 code and put it in a file 
named rm100.conf that I include in lircd.conf but I obtain the same result


lircd.conf :
#Configuration for the Soundgraph iMON Antec Veris remote:

       end codes

end remote



2/ linux input layer with several possible devices :

/dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_0042-event-if00
Nothing work except play/pause key but just for playing, mute key acts 
as said before

/dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_0042-event-mouse
and
/dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_0042-mouse

Same result than with Soundgraph  iMON Antec Veris except key play/pause 
don't make anything


Last thing, everytime I'm trying to reconfigure lirc, dmesg says :

imon 4-3:1.0: Unsupported IR protocol specified, overriding to iMON IR 
protocol

Well I'm a little lost ; it seems very hard to make these remotes working

So if someone could bring some help, it would be very nice.

cordialement,

Remote for HD1000 not in Raw format?

[Michael S. <ms...@gm...>]

Is it somehow possible to convert this raw data:

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/mitsubishi/HD1000

to "real codes"?

Or can someone out there find the codes for HD1000 remote???

Can't record the codes, because on my mac with ubuntu 11.04 I do not get
running the recording... (does someone have experience and can give a
step by step solution? tried it with several tutorials, but all did not
work)

Cheers,
Michael

Experience report: XMP protocol and LIRC

[David R. <da...@ro...>]

I'm posting this for the sake of future web searches, as there doesn't
seem to be much information available.

I recently had some trouble recording the IR signal from a remote
control that uses the XMP-2 protocol.[1]

I never did successfully record using lirc's irrecord; in raw mode it
would at least generate a config file, but using irsend with that config
file had no effect whatsoever on the set-top box receiving the signals.

What did work was to record using RedRat's "IR signal database
utility"[2]. It is free-as-in-beer, and only runs on Windows. I don't
know if it supports any IR-receiver hardware other than RedRat's own
hardware. You have to tick "XMP" in the settings before you start
recording; and when you've finished you can export to lirc format. The
resulting config file works with lirc on Linux (I'm using lirc 0.9.0).

WinLIRC and LIRC - only raw codes generated

[Ac.Metelka <js...@se...>]

Hello everybody,

I have question about LIRC config to set up hex codes for my Harmony One
remote set as iMon Pad remote, which I had before.

I have my HTPC with "IR Einschalter Rev 5" from www.atric.de as serial IR
receiver. First I used iMon Pad remote with USB receiver to control
Mediaportal, but missed on-off function. With Atric receiver it works, but I
was unable to setup WinLIRC and then also LIRC to learn hex codes.

In WinLIRC I tried several config files for iMon Pad remote, also I tried to
record own config with IRRecord. But I only achieved to have setup for raw
codes. When trying to record codes, I always got "Something went wrong ..."
message.

Then I read in some forum, that LIRC IRRecord is better, so I installed
Ubuntu 12.04 under Oracle Virtualbox and after few hours I was able to use
mode2 and then IRRecord to record commands. But also only in raw mode. I
tried also to use -a parameter for IRRecord, but with no success.

The problem is, that with raw codes, it sometimes work sometimes not, I have
to push button twice etc.

Any idea, what can be wrong? Maybe I should use different protocol in
Harmony setup, but what? Any recomendations? I tried MCE Remote profile, but
result was the same.

Thanks a lot!

Ac.Metelka

Just for the heck of it , I tried the ir receiver that came w/ the 
remote , which I use on another htpc.  None of the other buttons 
registered.  I ordered a replacement remote that should come in early 
next week.

I think I can safely rule out any software issues at this point.

I should also mention that  I have tried running 'irrecord' and

recognised.

Extension of mplay-driver for MonCaso 312/320: improved knob support [patch available]

[wmh <bc...@we...>]

Hi!

Here comes a LIRC patch with improved handling of the wheel/knob (turn 
and press actions). The patch removes knob bouncing effects, and has 
removed some subtle bugs when using wheel/knob and IR control in parallel.

It is available at 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12120799&postcount=99 
(lirc-0.9.0.patch.gz).

The change has been in use for quite a while now, and works fine.

Please consider this e-mail as submission to include this patch into 
LIRC. I'd be glad if it were useful to some LIRC users.

Regards,
Wolfgang

Hi!

This is a re-send of my e-mail from 2011-10-24, as there has been no 
reaction so far...

Here comes a modification for the mplay-driver. It extends the LIRC 
driver in order to support the case "MonCaso 312/320" with a built-in 
IR. Now, the wheel is supported, and the record button is recognised 
reliably. I have added a /patch/ containing the following /changes/:

  * The IR receiver reports the wheel position by a two bit value, which
    is given in Gray code. The code is transported via two status lines
    of the serial port.
  * The driver establishes a thread polling the status lines, thus
    recognising wheel turn actions.
  * The thread reads from the serial port the remote control button
    presses, as it used to be the case before.
  * Wheel turn actions produce button presses for counterwise (0x81) and
    counter clockwise (0x80) turns.
  * Detected button presses are piped into the LIRC framework. The
    driver serves the write end, the LIRC framework has the read end.
  * Once a wheel action has been found, the driver temporarily reduces
    the polling period in order to get all wheel actions.
  * The driver uses an option "nowheel" appended to the driver parameter
    as in --driver="/dev/ttyUSB0,nowheel" or
    DRIVER="/dev/ttyUSB0,nowheel". This option switches off the creation
    of a polling thread. Instead, remote button presses are directly
    read from the serial  port, as it used to be the case before.
  * In order to avoid copy and paste, there is an init function for both
    mplay and mplay2.

The algorithms are explained in more detail in the source code comments.

I would be happy if the patch helps. Perhaps it is even a candidate to 
be included into the LIRC package. In addition, I added the forum post 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11385428&postcount=60, where you 
could reply to if you like to.

Unfortunately, only Ubuntu 11.04 is available for me, which is also the 
base for the patch.

Regards,
Wolfgang

audio-alsa with S32LE sources?

[tonsofpcs <ton...@gm...>]

Is there a way to use audio-alsa with a soundcard that only supports
S32LE not U8?  I see that the code is written exclusively for U8 but
neither of my two soundcards support this.  I can operate in
32000/stereo/S32LE at the lowest.  I was thinking that perhaps
snd-aloop could handle this along with some piping of arecord and
aplay but I can't seem to get that to properly loop-back (arecord
alone seems to work, as does using audacity to capture my 'IR module'
output).  Any thoughts or tips?  Any known way to use arecord and/or
some other tools to pipe into irrecord / lircd as U8?  (A slight delay
would be acceptable)


aside: Radio Shack now has a newer version of their 276-640, found it
listed as "2760640" on the front of the package [same barcode], has
more range, more sensitivity, and wider supply voltage range (2.5-5.5
instead of 2.7-5.something).

Thanks!

Re: Front Panel Buttons on iMon 15c2:0034

[Ulrich E. <uli...@ul...>]

Hi,

I had a deeper look into the code and finally found a solution to get 
the front panel buttons to work. I append the patch for imon.c against 
kernel 3.6.8.

But it is ugly, that the front panel buttons are hardcoded. It is not 
possible to remap keys via ir-keytable. Is there a special reason for 
this hardcoded values? If I understand the code correctly, exchanging 
the call to imon_panel_key_lookup by rc_g_keycode_from_table should do 
the job to specify the front panel keys also in the ir-keytable.

Best Regards
Uli

Front Panel Buttons on iMon 15c2:0034

[Ulrich E. <uli...@ul...>]

Hi,

with the old lircd 0.8.x the front panel buttons of the thermaltake 
dh102 case worked without problems. Due to kernel update to 3.6.8 I want 
to switch to from the lirc_imon to the imon kernel module. With the imon 
module the remote control, the touch screen and the volume knob of the 
front panel is working but not all other buttons of the front panel. The 
iMon is detected as:

input: iMON Panel, Knob and Mouse(15c2:0034) as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-5/2-5:1.0/input/input9
Registered IR keymap rc-imon-pad
input: iMON Remote (15c2:0034) as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-5/2-5:1.0/rc/rc2/input10
rc2: iMON Remote (15c2:0034) as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-5/2-5:1.0/rc/rc2
imon 2-5:1.0: could not get a minor number for display
imon 2-5:1.0: iMON device (15c2:0034, intf0) on usb<2:3> initialized
input: iMON USB Touchscreen (15c2:0034) as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-5/2-5:1.0/input/input11
imon 2-5:1.1: iMON device (15c2:0034, intf1) on usb<2:3> initialized

When I press for example the ENTER button of the front panel, this 
button is detected:

intf1 decoded packet: 00 00 00 16 00 00 14 ee

So I added this to the imon_panel_key_table in imon.c . Now this key if 
forwarded to the input device, but a single press on the ENTER button 
creates now a lot of events:

vdr:/usr/src/linux # evtest /dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_0034-event-mouse

Hello Fabrice, I have same device on same OS.

I am not expert on Linux, maybe someone on the list knows better how
to get it working. This is my way:

1. Install sources: (select “mceusb2”)

apt-get install lirc-modules-source

2. Reconfigure:

dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source

3. Create module:

m-a prepare
m-a a-i lirc

4. Load module:

modprobe lirc_mceusb2

5. Configure hardware:

LIRCD_ARGS=""
#START_LIRCMD=false
#START_IREXEC=false
LOAD_MODULES=true
DRIVER="default"
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_mceusb2"
LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
LIRCMD_CONF=""

Good luck!
