OT: Lirc serial transmitter stopped working
|
|
Hi,
I'm hoping one of you may have some ideas. I got an IR serial
transmitter/receiver on Monday and was able to start using it right away
with no problems. However, now the transmitter has stopped working as
far as I can tell. I don't necessarily think it is a hardware problem,
but maybe you have seen this before.
I am running Gentoo and have gone back over all the install steps
without any luck. I have 'transmitter' set in my USE flags, and have
the device set as serial. I re-emerged lirc and then reloaded
lirc_serial and lirc_dev (auto loaded with lirc_serial). No
modifications have been done to lircd.conf. I started up lircd in debug
and watched the output when calling my channel changing script, but
don't see any errors....
localhost etc # lircd -n -d /dev/lirc/0 -D10
lircd-0.8.0[20371]: started server socket
.....
lircd-0.8.0[20371]: lircd(serial) ready
....
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: registering local client
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: driver supports both sending and receiving
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: received command: "SEND_ONCE amino 1"
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: clearing transmit buffer
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: transmit buffer ready
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: removed client
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: registering local client
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: driver supports both sending and receiving
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: received command: "SEND_ONCE amino OK"
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: clearing transmit buffer
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: transmit buffer ready
lircd-0.8.0[15347]: removed client
"amino" is the name of the remote I a have set in the lircd.conf file.
As I said, no changes have been made to the file since it was last
working and the receiver is still working fine.
When I 'modprobe' the drivers, I am not getting any errors in 'dmesg'
either:
localhost data # modprobe -r lirc_serial lirc_dev
localhost data # modprobe lirc_serial
localhost data # dmesg
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
lirc_serial: auto-detected active low receiver
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
localhost data # lsmod | grep lirc
lirc_serial 13440 0
lirc_dev 14580 1 lirc_serial
Thanks for your time!
-Nate
