Nice HowTo thank you!

I have a Micro Fusion Remote 350 mATX 350W IR with the RM100 Remote. It was a bit tricky to get it work!

The LCD was easy to install with your manual but the IR was very bad ;( and it still works not perfect!

Here are my lirc.conf files (i wasn't able to get it work with just one file lirc.conf) also i had to change manually the toggle_bit_mask from 0x2800000000 to 0x1400000000 because every button press caused two signals - i think this is a good solution !

Code:

#/etc/lircd0.conf:
begin remote
  name  rm100.pad
  bits            8
  eps            30
  aeps          100

  one             0     0
  zero            0     0
  pre_data_bits   24
  pre_data       0x20000
  post_data_bits  32
  post_data      0x0
  gap          211993
#  toggle_bit_mask 0x2800000000
   toggle_bit_mask 0x1400000000
      begin codes
          enter                    0x28
          back                     0x2A
          favorites                0x65
      end codes
end remote

#/etc/lircd1.conf
begin remote

  name  rm100
  bits          24
  eps            30
  aeps          100

  one             0     0
  zero            0     0
  post_data_bits  40
  post_data      0xB700000101
  toggle_bit_mask 0x200000000000
  gap          211993
      begin codes
          green                    0x288195
          red                      0x289115
          up                       0x2AA515
          down                     0x289515
          left                     0x29A515
          right                    0x2BA515
          volup                    0x28A395
          voldown                  0x28A595
          chup                     0x289395
          chdown                   0x288795
          mute                     0x2B9595
          rewind                   0x298315
          play                     0x2A8315
          forward                  0x2B8315
          go                       0x2AB195
      end codes
end remote

I don't use the lirc startup via crontab because you cannot get sure what device will start first! Here is the start script:

Code:

# /etc/init.d/lircd
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          lircd
# Required-Start:    $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $syslog
# Should-Start:      $local_fs
# Should-Stop:       $local_fs
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Starts LIRCD daemon.
# Description:       LIRCD is used to control different
#                    infrared receivers and transceivers.
### END INIT INFO
case "$1" in
        start)
                /usr/local/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc0 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc0.pid --listen=8765 /etc/lircd0.conf
                /usr/local/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc1.pid --output=/dev/lircd --connect=localhost:8765 /etc/lircd1.conf
                chmod a+rw /dev/lcd* /dev/lirc*
        ;;
        stop)
                killall lircd
        ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/lircd {start|stop}"
                exit 1
        ;;
esac

You must update your runtimes so that this skript will run at startup:

Code:

update-rc.d lircd defaults

So now to my problems I hope someone can help me:
Sometimes the keys will not get recognized. They work well and after that i need to press another key five times until it works! For debugging i run "irw" at the same time and also it will not recognize the key so it must be a lirc problem!?

The next issue is that i can't use any other remote control! Do I have to change some configuration to get a Harmony Work for example?! Because the RM100 has only a few buttons I want to use another remote and the harmony will not get recognized even when I use it with the RM100 configuration (there only a few buttons work) or set up as XBOXRemote Control.

I appreciate any information about this!

Cheers.
