Full Version: LIRC Transmisison fails...

Hi there,

I'm trying to get LIRC to transmit rather than receive from XBIAN. Basically I want to write a basic flask page that allows me to turn the TV on or off from my phone using two IR LED's

I have a working transceiver that I've wired to a female 26 pin connector, I know it's working because I've managed to get receive and transmit running using a Raspbian install.

I want to use Xbian since if there is a pi sitting there then why not get it to do other stuff :-)

LIRC on my Xbian install seems to be receiving:
When I stop the LIRC service and run:
Code:
mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
I get the pulse readouts when pressing the remote.

Where I'm stuck is getting it to transmit, I have the following in my
Code:
/etc/modules
file
Code:
lirc_rpi gpio_out_pin=17
This is exactly the same in the working Raspbian install.

The error I get is:
Code:
irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE Samsung Power
irsend: transmission failed

Any ideas as to how to get around this?

Thank you!
