Problems with USB_UIRT and LIRC
#1
I’m trying to get my remote control working (Ubuntu 13.04 x64), I’ve followed these posts for setting up my USB_UIRT and recording commands:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lirc_USB-UIRT
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=How-to:Setup_Lirc

1st problem - I cannot record using the uirt2_raw or usb_uirt_raw driver

for example:
Code:
irrecord --driver=usb_uirt_raw --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 MyRemote
gives me this:

Code:
irrecord: uirt2_raw: checksum error
irrecord: uirt2_raw: UIRT version 0905 ok

and then when trying to program, it says “something went wrong”.

but I can record if I use the uirt2 driver.

The next problem is that I cannot test the remote after (with any driver, i’ve tried
uirt2, usb_uirt_raw, and usb_uirt2_raw).

for example:

Code:
lircd --driver=uirt2 --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 MyRemote
and then
Code:
irw

does not recall any of the commands I had saved from my remote.

I have hardware.conf set up to use

REMOTE_DRIVER="usb_uirt_raw"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/ttyUSB0"

and have also tested with the driver switched to usb_uirt2_raw and uirt2.



Any help is appreciated!
