I have been trying to follow guides for the 0043 iMon receiver with no luck at all. Has anyone had any luck with this? I have tried it with and without lirc using ir-keytables. ir-keytables recognizes my receiver but the test doesn't display anything.

cat /proc/bus/input/device:

I would really appreciate it if anyone could help. This setup has been quite frustrating for me.

If ir-keytable isn't outputting anything in test mode, then it's not setup correctly. Did you try:

Code:

/usr/bin/ir-keytable --protocol=Other

And then running the test to see if anything came in?

Download and run that (example): Your by-id may be different

Code:

./getscancodes /dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_ffdc-event-if00

Pressing each button will relay what scan code it's receiving for each key.

This option did not work for me. It was not recognized. I have tried setting the protocol to various types to see if would recognize ANY signals. Nothing worked.

I tried this program, but it did not help. I tried the original rm100 remote as well as my Phillips SRU 8008 universal remote programmed as a MCE remote as well a specific XBOX remote configuration.

I'm afraid none of these hints are working on my Ubuntu 12.04 box.

irw or ir-keytable -t is not putting out anything, with or without running "sudo ir-keytable -w /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/imon_mce"

Going to need much more detail than that. What type of receiver are you working with, what remote?

[marcos1974]

hi all

I just want to say thank you very much to sparkie2640.
I followed your instructions and got my 15cd:ffdc working together with xbmc.
If somedy you are in Switzerland I would like to invite you also to a beer or two or three or... :-)

Thanks a lot!!!

Works for me too :-)

I just have one problem - im using the mce remote and get multiple presses from some buttons: Play, Pause, Guide, DVD Menu (they give me 2-3 presses when I only press once)

The right/left/up/down/OK works fine with only one press.

I have tried several solutions for this but none has worked.

Any ideas why I get multiple presses from these buttons ?

[NebulaOdyssey]

Mine is working all good with Logitech remote as mce. Only problem I have is a can no longer turn on my box with the remote? Any thoughts anyone?

This used to work I.e PowerToggle would turn on or off my HTPC, now it only turns off not on. I have to use the button on the HTPC. I know I'm lazy.

Perhaps seems my receiver is now turning off?

After the change in LIRC that comes with the new linux in Eden mine isn't able to do that anymore, too, although I have been able to get all my buttons to work now with the help of sparkie here. My guess is that's no longer possible the way IR-inputs are working now.

[eroth]

Thanks to sparkie's posts, I've been able to get my configuration working.

I do have 2 follow up questions though:
1. Everything is currently on the imon_pad stuff from post 29. Should I be considering the imon_mce configuration change in post 43? (I'm on eden on 12.04)
2. The d-pad as arrow keys are super unresponsive. I can hold it down, and then it finally goes. Is it possibly a dying remote/key? Other buttons aren't problematic, and switching to mouse mode does work, but is horrible slow with the little cursor.

thanks!

nothing. so what can i do? maybe i need to uninstall and reinstall stuff?
maybe you can help with the vfd too? the display doesn't change from when i turn the machine on, it shows the date and time in 12hr format down to the second but then stays that way, time doesn't change, nothingt.

thanks in advance.

Okay....

I installed ir-keytable .... everything's ok

running ir-keytable gives an output like you said:

Code:

david@david-xbmc:~$ ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event5) with:
        Driver imon, table rc-imon-mce

That means to me, that I'm using the imon-mce file in /lib/udev/rc-keymaps, right?


ir-keymaps -t doesn't show anything while I hit a button on my remote
ir-keymaps -r displays the mapping like you've said

Did I do something wrong or what is the fault because ir-keymaps -t won't display anything?

yes, you are using the imon-mce config file in /lib/udev/rc-keymaps which from what I can tell is wrong. I have that exact setup, here's what I did to fix it (mostly):

dpkg-reconfigure lirc
Select Linux input layer (/dev/input/eventX)
Select None (unless you have a remote extender for a satellite dish or something)
In the next list, it's going to give you a complete listing of /dev/input/ you're looking for the one that ends in usb-15c2_ffdc-even-if00
There will actually be 3 of them, one ends in mouse, another ends in something else. You want the one that ends in if00

Once that is completed, it will start lirc using the drivers from the kernel rather than lirc drivers.

Now, I created my own configuration file in /etc/rc_keymaps named imon-pad so...
nano /etc/rc_keymaps/imon-pad

Code:

Paste all that into it and save it

then run ir-keytable -w /etc/rc_keymaps/imon-pad
that will write the configuration to the keytable, and if you run irw or ir-keytable -t pressing a button on the remote should cause something to appear on screen.

Note ... this is still a work in progress for me ... as not all the remote buttons work as they used to, but I figure helping you get to the point I'm at is better than nothing

I have the exact same configuration as sparkie and am trying to do the steps you are telling above, problem is that my SSH is crashing all the time. At first I tried the dpkg-reconfigure lirc and nothing happened. After a reset it worked and I managed to go through the steps, after that putty (which I'm using from my laptop) didn't display anything new. Creating the new text-file in nano ends the same. I copy and paste it, and when I try to save it, nothing new happens.

Any help?

---- Edit: when I reset it again I managed to get through all the steps successfully. ir keytable -t still doesn't return any keypresses though. How have you guys setup your harmony remote in the Harmony-software?

imon_mce keytable

sparkie2640: I have a few buttons that I am not able to get working on my Harmony remote. I have checked my imon_mce keytable to verify that the scan codes given by ir-keytable -t are correct and they are. Do you know what references the imon_mce keytable file? Such as, where is "KEY_PLAY" mapped to? Does that make sense?

Also, I have two imon_mce files,

/etc/rc_keymaps/imon_mce
/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/imon_mce

which one do I point rc.local to?
