Forum

I would like to know how to make my old ATI Remote Wonder work with Kodi.

I checked the forums, and the only articles I found are from 2013 and people were working on the issue.

I tried the first steps from this page http://wiki.xbian.org/doku.php/remotes
and mode2 doesn't output anything.

When I plugged it in, the Arrow buttons worked automatically, but that's all.

This is the remote I am trying to use: http://www.boro.fr/assets/perso/ati_remote_wonder-b3601881cb0209ab44eb9fd7be4d1d7f9766e0315cc531a39217f6e999b0b505.png

lsusb returned this among other results:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bc7:0004 X10 Wireless Technology, Inc. X10 Receiver


Thanks for any help

I'm also having such a heavy bone which I was using for controlling XBMC many many years ago.

But I've decided never ever touch this piece of hardware again - makes IMO no sense

I guess it makes sense :-)

It's just it was laying there, and I though, maybe I can make a use of it.

Thanks

Maybe you're right. If I have much time and can remember where my old configs for this remote are I can post it here

The easiest way IMO is to use ir-keytable, just a good implementation without the hassle of lirc.

Never Say Never Again

I modified package xbian-package-lirc to make X10 based RC's working again.

New packages are available in staging repo, so for testing please enable staging repo in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list and update kernel and lirc package.

Some additional notes:

• USB Transmitter X10 will be autodetected. So make sure that transmitter is connected before starting lirc
• lirc package is providing a special X10 Lircmap.xml. It will be copied during start of lirc to /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata if no user defined Lircmap.xml already exists
• By adding some helpful messages you can control if autodetection is working by watching file /var/log/upstart/lirc.log. It should look like this
  
  
  Terminal

  
  cat /var/log/upstart/lirc.log
  *** LIRC hardware (autodetected) ***
  SECTION=X10
  LOAD_MODULES=
  DRIVER=default
  DEVICE=/dev/lirc0
  MODULES=
  Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC
  

Thank you very much!

I own this beauty:

and I have no money to change it.

You saved me.

However, there are some mistakes in the key mapping

Volume up and volume down are inverted
The "mute" key is not working, the "A" key mutes.

Will look into next days

@Chiron

Please make changes as follows:

1) Set X10 type in file /etc/default/lirc


There are many X10 remotes with different keymappings. So you have to define which one you have


2) Change name of remote in file /etc/lirc/remotes/x10-atiwonder.conf

Unfortunately there is typo in device name. So X10-ATIREMOTE has to be changed into X10-ATIWONDER

begin remote

name X10-ATIWONDER
bits 40
eps 30
aeps 100

one 0 0
zero 0 0
gap 235966
toggle_bit 0

...

Finally restart lirc and kodi

Thank you very much, I have sorted most of the issues. However i do still have an issue with getting the code of the mute key of the remote.
I will open another topic.

Well since an update today my remote is not working anymore. The mapping of the buttons isn't working anymore. I'm confused. My configuration hasn't changed.

The log of lirc



My conf file hasn't changed


However I've got a new link in date of today in /etc/lirc/remotes

Hmmm, seems you upgraded kernel from 4.4.x to 4.9.x. I checked this package, unfortunately the module lirc_atiusb is not there

Have to fix it. If you don't want to wait for new kernel package, you can install older 4.4.x kernel package as workaround

Thanks. I'm back to previous kernel: linux-image-bcm2836=4.4.48+-1486919396

Everything is back on line :-)

Fixed in recent kernel package 4.9.10
