Hi,

I'm trying to set up a irblaster with a R5E50.Everything seems ok, the irsend command seems ok, no error on logs. I followed all the other post on this site but I think that I have a problem with my serial port. I set up in the config the irblaster on COM1 (ttyS0) but seems that I have something else on my system:

# dmess | grep tty
serial8250: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 ( irq = 4) is a 16550A
00:08: ttyS2 at at I/O 0x3e8 ( irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged!
ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged!
ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged!

Please give me a hint how to set it up on COM1. On BIOS is on COM1 IRQ4 and IO 0x3e8

Thanks

As you are using the I/O address of 0x3e8 instead of 0x3f8, I'm guessing the above is trying to tell you that your COM1 is defined as /dev/ttyS2 instead of ttyS0. Either change your scripts/settings or change the I/O address to the default for COM1: 0x3f8.

Thanks..Solved the COM1 issue..still no response from my Samsung STB but this is another story...I need to test my irblaster if is a working one or I'm not using a good lirc file for my remote..probably I need to get a irblaster with a led to be able to see if my knoppmyth is sending some signals to the receiver. Do you use a irblaster? some hints for me? I cannot find any erorrs.

I do not use an irblaster, so I'm afraid I can offer no hints. Searching these forums (and Google) for irblaster should give you a large number of hits, hopefully one (or more) of them will help.

Best of luck

Digital cameras, especially those on mobile phones can see into the near Infra-Red, so if you point your camera towards the transmitter, you should see some activity on the screen.

Thanks...good idea...So seams that my irblaster is not sending anything.looking with my phone camera into anorhet remote I see the light. But in the irblaster is not sending nothing.So back to work. The idea is that the irsend command is working or at least is not show me any errors. Everything seems OK. Some ideeas how I can troubleshoot?

So I test again and when I'm sending the irsend command on command-line I see a light on the irblaster.If I try with my streamzap remote is not showing me nothing.This means first that I dont have the right lirc file for my remote because even with the irsend the Samsung SVACI202 receiver is not showing nothing.And in plus my streamzap remote is not connected with the change_chanell.sh

I think what you do is stop lirc, use irrecord to record the buttons from your Samsung remote using your current receiver on your PC to a new lircd.conf. Add the new lircd.conf to your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf (while leving in your existing settings for your remote that you use to control the mythbox.
After that you restart lirc. I don't know what other changes you need to make to any other files to get it send the keycodes in your lircd.conf.
Though I think you have to name the remotes in this file.

Thanks for the info...I will give it a try this weekend and capture the remote codes.I will let you know.Thanks again.

I have some problems with my digital satellite receiver and probably I will change my Samsung anyway. Can someone give me a hint what to buy? I want to buy a STB 100% compatible with KnoppMyth so I will not have any more problems with irblaster. Can anyone of you help me?
