I just found out the remote I have is actually an imon. I was under the impression that it would never be supported. I however cannot find anything on how to download the configure lirc for the imon PAD remote withing knoppmyth.
Im still learning Linux actually I dont know much of what I'm doing, but I can follow instructions well enough to fumble around.
Thanks.

Thanks. If you have installed R5F27 you can run /usr/local/bin/vfd_install.sh to setup your VFD (if it truly is the VFD and not the iMON LCD)
I don't have any ideas on how to get the remote working, but searching the forums for "iMON remote" should get you going...

It is the imon VFD, and imon PAD remote. I ran that script, and the display started working right away. Still not sure how to get the imon remote working.

I'm at the same spot as you, and I'm working with some patches to get the 'pad' working with lirc 0.8.2.
Once I get it all working to MY satisfaction, I'll post what's needed.
So far, I can get all the remote buttons to work, but the pad is being a royal PITA!

I dont have any buttons working. Everything Iv found says to download lirc, and patch something. So that leaves me out of it. I dont know much about linux other than follow the instructions written for a drunken monkey.
Of course this is one of the few exceptions where drunken monkey instructions are not avaliable. Maybe scripted support for the imon PAD remote will be in the next version. I am totaly supprised that the display is working before the remote.

So it doesn't appear that there has been much progress on this since I tried to get it working ~1.5 years ago  That's unfortunate, as the iMON remote seems a perfect fit for MythTV and the plugins... yaplej wrote: I dont have any buttons working.

Unfortunately a "drunken monkey" writeup would require working drivers, which apparently don't exist yet...

That is quite disappointing. I really like the remote/display.

I'm pretty disappointed, too. I'll buy no more iMON equipment.
So far, I can get the 'mouse' portion of the driver to work, but that has no value while you're in MythTV itself. It needs the arrow key functions to work, and I'm trying my best to get it working.
For the 'tech folks:' There's a patch for the 0.8.0 driver and it merged fairly well into the 0.8.2 code, but now I get no response from 'irw' for the cursor codes. The 'mode2' command shows the flow of data for the cursor keys, but something is getting lost on the way.  I'm thinking it's a function call that's not passing the correct data. The logic of the patch looks ok, but I'm still working on it.

Well your a better man than I.
I cannot even get lirc 0.8.2 to make. I dowloaded the 0.8.2 from www.lirc.org, and was able to untar it to /usr/src/lirc-0.8.2 after that
I ran ./setup.sh
and selected Imon pad
then selected save, and exit.
After than I added "--prefix=/usr \" to the end of configure.sh
I then ran sh configure.sh
but when I try to make I get these errors.
Code:
include/linux/i2c.h:32:26: error: linux/i2c-id.h: No such file or directory
make[5]: *** [/usr/src/lirc-0.8.2/drivers/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.o] Error 1
make[4]: *** [_module_/usr/src/lirc-0.8.2/drivers/lirc_dev] Error 2
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-chw-13'
make[3]: *** [lirc_dev.o] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/lirc-0.8.2/drivers/lirc_dev'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/lirc-0.8.2/drivers'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/lirc-0.8.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I guess that header file is missing. I think I saw something about that somwhere else in the forum, but I dont know if thats all the problems.
I was able to figure that much out from this in the wiki.

Here is how to get the remote working WITHOUT the pad in R5F27.
Do some backing up;
Code: # cp /etc/lirc/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.orig
# cp /etc/lirc/hardware.conf /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
# cp /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc.orig
Copy the remote specifics over; Code: # cp /usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
Modify the DEVICE line in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to represent your device. Mine looks like this; Code: DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
To find it yours do; Code: # ls -al /dev/lirc*
# ls -al /dev/input/lirc*
Looks for the lirc line, that's where your DEVICE is. Modify the MODULES line in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf; Code: MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c"
Reboot. Now check your remote works with the irw command. Code: # irw
Press some buttons on your remote and you'll see it outputting stuff to the screen. If irw command returns to a prompt straightaway something is wrong, check /var/log/syslog for details. You're remote now works, but it won't work in myth until you create a decent /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc file. This file maps your button presses to actions within mythtv/xine/etc.. Here is MY lircrc file - it works for me atm. I've also created JUMPPOINTS in Mythtv so I can use the Movie, Music, Photo, etc buttons properly. If a button doesn't do what you expect it to do, this is the file you change to make it do what you want. Code: ###### CUSTOM MYTHTV - By Kirk ######

Hey this is great I can now get input from the remote! I noticed that in in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf does not have codes for moving north,south,east,west. Take a look at this link if you have not already seen it. I noticed there are codes for InteliMouse
"
Mouse_N 0x690281B7
Mouse_S 0x688291B7
Mouse_W 0x6A8281B7
Mouse_E 0x688A81B7
"
If those existed could they be changed to match the up/down/left/right codes?
"
Up 0x290281B7
Down 0x288291B7
Left 0x2A8281B7
Right 0x288A81B7
"

That's an interesting patch that I haven't seen on my searches....
I'll see what it's up to, and see if I can integrate it into what I'm working on.
FYI: It's that PATCH that generates those codes, NOT the IR system itself. That's why there's no standard output that lircd.conf can use across the borad.
