Hello I have been working on this project for a few days now. I have everything working for the most part. I am just on the last part of the project. The IR Blaster. I am having some problems with it. I used the instructions at http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/my ... _LIRC.html I thought i did it correctly or followed them. I am getting an error when i am trying to test it out. I get a Connection Refused.

I have tried to search and read the forums but i havent been able to figure anything out. Any help would be great. Thank you

Dave

I then get it to run, then at the end of the run, I get this:

checking for Linux kernel sources... /tmp/LEDXMITMF.ZHyba4:260: arch/i386/Makefile: No such file or directory
/tmp/LEDXMITMF.ZHyba4:543: Rules.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Rules.make'. Stop.

Great, I have it working now!

But... I can't find the right codes for my DSS. I have an older Sony SAT-A2 DSS. It uses the RM-Y130 remote which I can't figure out how to configure the ledxmitd.conf file to get it to work. Any help?

I get the blinky led which is good, but I need the right codes for my dss...

BTW, thanks again for this code and scripting, it is very cool to be able to control devices this way. Plus, it cost me nothing. I had the parts at my shop. -Joseph

Thank you Dave hi dave, i'm the author of that howto. what exactly are you doing to generate the error, and at which step in my process does it occur? just so we are on the same page, you are running knoppmyth, right? (=debian). did you follow my process verbatim, and did you notice any type of error messages along the way? if you can provide me a little more detail about your troubles i'm pretty sure i can figure out what is amiss. jim

Post subject:	Re: Here are my problems (different person) using PRE7 lirc
but perhaps now i see your problem. you may have to unpack your kernel sources, see http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1935 for info and tips. based on the info in http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1357 it goes something like this: Code: cd /usr/src sudo bzcat linux-2.4.25-chw.tar.bz2 \| tar -xvf - cp linux/.config linux-2.4.25-chw [type y] sudo rm linux ln -s linux-2.4.25-chw linux cd linux-2.4.25-chw make oldconfig dep NOTE: on KnoppMythR4V3, there is one error that needs correcting: sudo rm /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/build sudo ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.4.25-chw /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/build although i don't recall having to do this with knoppmyth R4V2.

Any help? see http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/sony/ and try the config file from any of the similar sony remotes -- e.g. the RM-Y135. myth doesn't have to send your receiver any fancy functions to change the channel -- just the numbers. and my bet is that most of the sony stuff uses similar keycodes for the numbers. you just have to find one that has working numbers, and you're in. kb9mwo wrote: I get the blinky led which is good, but I need the right codes for my dss... if that's the case, you are 99% of the way there. just need the config file, and like i said, only the basic stuff (like the numbers) has to work. kb9mwo wrote: BTW, thanks again for this code and scripting, it is very cool to be able to control devices this way.

Post subject:	This is what I did
It was a function of having to get the source unzipped and reset the link so I could compile to it. I should have thought of that before... duh... Now, I got the remote totally working. I just happened to read the rm-y500 should work with the dss receiver and IT DOES! I just have to finish with the script and I should be on my way. I assume, cause I haven't looked yet, that I can have both the cable (pvr-250 tuner) and the DSS both working and myth will autoswitch based on the configuration I use between the two sets of channels. So far, everything is going very very cool. You open source guys are the BEST! My shop manufactures area measurement equipment. We also do engineering contract work and are an official Atmel AVR consultant. So I have electronics up the wazoo for prototyping. Being the president has its advantages allowing me to "borrow" parts for experiments. www.measurearea.com (cheap plug for my invention) Again, guys, thanks... This blows tivo away in every way, shape, and form. I will never conform to doing things the "commercial" way. It's the experimental way or die trying! -Joseph Gottlieb (yes, also the pinball family)
