Igor Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 This remote is not Infra Red but radio so there is no relation to "irw" which is a part of LIRC.Did you try to use it under Armbian desktop?
kris777 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 Did you try to use it under Armbian desktop? Yes :-) ...... This pilot work on Linux ... but on the router ..... and after the command irw showing the appropriate entries ! ? This pilot work on Linux ...but on the router with alternative firmware Tomato ..... and after the command irw showing the appropriate entries ! ? I read somewhere that the standard drivers are bad: ati_remote ? You can read more ... but in the Polish forum : https://openlinksys.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=11511#post_103125 and something else : https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=50782&p=393016
Igor Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 So you are saying this is a combo device, wireless and IR and you want to communicate with an Orane PI Lite on board IR sensor? Check this: http://linux-sunxi.org/LIRC and other general how-to's regarding LIRC.
zador.blood.stained Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 @kris777 Since this device is detected as an input device, you have to create a devinput based LIRC config for it. Default config shipped with Armbian is designed to work with onboard IR receiver (or receiver connected to a dedicated pin on the pin header), so irw won't give you any output with your device. Unfortunately this I'm not too good at linux :-( will be your main problem, since in order to get ti to work, you need to create An udev rule to create a permanent symlink for your device a LIRC hardware config to point at your input device and to use the devinput node a LIRC remote config defining button codes
kris777 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 Thank you for... any information probably, unfortunately, I can not do but I will try .... if I can let you know sorry for my English :-( Regards! 1
Ford Prefect Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Hi It doesn't answer the question but I just bought that: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B01GJF2VSI/ref=pe_386181_51767671_TE_dp_3 I should have done it much earlier it is very convenient : cheap no drivers, no batteries works with any application, any OS, even to enter BIOS
kris777 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Quote So you are saying this is a combo device, wireless and IR and you want to communicate with an Orane PI Lite on board IR sensor? Not the pilot has its own sensor Unfortunately, unless you have to compile drivers :-( It's fun because you can control through the wall armbian system does not work even command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc ( I can not install : lirc-modules-source ) http://www.mandrivalinux.eu/showthread.php?126827-HOW-TO-UBUNTU-Pilot-Medion-X10-Wireless-Technology rather, I have to use another remote control Ps. remote control works with a dedicated sensor !... but on another system ( beta ).....Armbian-5.25-Orangepilite-Ubuntu-xenial-3.4.113-desktop https://dl.armbian.com/orangepilite/ start-up procedure is simple: apt-get install lirc # reconfigure lirc sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc Remote control configuration: ATI/NVidia/X10 RF Remote (userspace) IR transmitter, if present: None !!! configuration file lircd.conf here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/mj1ihxux9m91mp0/lircd.conf?dl=0 I ran up to two remotes simultaneously with the program mpc mpd ( internetradio ) regards!
kris777 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 I use now : ARMBIAN Debian GNU / Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.112-sun8i ... It works a little better than xenial 3.4.113 I question whether you can in the future to add lirc with properly working option : dpkg-reconfigure lirc with a choice of drivers ?
