[LINUX] HOW-TO Get X10 OR22V RF Remote to work with lirc
Hello,
i canīt post in HOW-TO section...so i post here. I have bought a very cheap RF Remote from ebay. Itīs the X10 OR22V with RF USB Dongle for about 12 Euros include shipping. Iīve read many threads in Internet about this remote but nobody get the remote to work correctly. So i tried my luck and get it to work.  At first you have to know that the USB RF-receiver is recognized as an ati/mce receiver from Linux Kernel (Ubuntu Jaunty). That is wrong and therefore you have to blacklist the Kernel modules ati_remote and lirc_atiusb. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Append following lines to the file and save it. Code:
#Set ATI USB RF Receiver Modules to Blacklist for X10 OR22V Remote blacklist ati_remote blacklist lirc_atiusb Now install LIRC: sudo apt-get install lirc Select None for Remote and Transmitter during installation!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now we have to edit LIRCīs harware.conf in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf sudo nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf Code:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf # #Chosen Remote Control REMOTE="OR22V" REMOTE_MODULES="" REMOTE_DRIVER="atilibusb" REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0" REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf" REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS="" #Chosen IR Transmitter TRANSMITTER="None" TRANSMITTER_MODULES="" TRANSMITTER_DRIVER="" TRANSMITTER_DEVICE="" TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF="" TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS="" #Enable lircd START_LIRCD="true" #Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file #START_LIRCMD="false" #Try to load appropriate kernel modules LOAD_MODULES="true" # Default configuration files for your hardware if any LIRCMD_CONF="" #Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration #If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application #that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive #frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER #It will then populate all other variables without any user input #If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure #to leave this set to "false" FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false" START_LIRCMD="" Finally we have to edit /etc/lirc/lircd.conf sudo nano /etc/lirc/lircd.conf Code:
# Please make this file available to others
# by sending it to <lirc@bartelmus.de>
#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.8.4a(atilibusb) on Tue Sep 8 23:54:34 2009

# contributed by funnybox2006
#
# brand: X10
# model no. of remote control: OR22V with RF USB Dongle
# devices being controlled by this remote:
# note: use atilibusb driver for this remote and set device in hardware.conf to /dev/lirc0

KEY_0 0xEC17
KEY_# 0x0D38
KEY_CLEAR 0x85B0
KEY_ENTER 0x0B36
end codes
end remote
Now all steps are done and you can restart lirc with the following command: sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart Now type: irw and then if you press a button on the remote the corresponding button name should be displayed in the terminal. Now you are able to map buttons to XBMC the usual way. Sorry for my bad english.  funnybox2206 Last edited by funnybox2006; 2009-09-10 at 19:33. |

I'm still having problems thought. Irw outputs fine but the button mapping seems to be wrong or none existing. XBMC does not respond to any buttons. What is the usual way to map buttons in xbmc 9.04.1? According to the wiki there should be a folder called .xbmc/userdata/keymaps and .xbmc/system/keymaps in the users home folder. But I can't find any keymaps folder. Any suggestions?

you have to edit/create the files Lircmap.xml and Keymap.xml in ~/.xbmc/userdata In future versions of XBMC the Keymaps.xml is located in a seperate folder. But for now you can put bot XML files in ~/.xbmc/userdata Here is my Lircmap.xml Code:
<lircmap>
<remote device="OR22V">
<obc1>KEY_POWER</obc1>
<obc2>KEY_RED</obc2>
<obc3>KEY_YELLOW</obc3>
