[SOLVED] LIRC TSO4838 skips step

[mightymike82]

Hi all,

I've succesfully soldered my TSOP4838 to my Rpi and configured it (thnx to Curly Mo).

All is working fine except for one small thing,

My remote (harmony 700) skips a step with every press on de direction keys, taking it one step to far (left, right up down).

This problem is resolved by a restart of lirc (/etc/init.d/lirc restart)

So everytime I boot up my Pi I have to restart LIRC.

Anyone got a solution to the problem? or a way to restart lirc when xbmc is loaded.

Thanx

[CurlyMo]

First try to add the restart of lirc to /etc/rc.local

unfortunatly that didn´t work (or I´m doing it wrong ,which is a possibility

I've changed my rc.local as below and added an execution bit (chmod +x)

Terminal

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
/etc/init.d/lirc restart
exit 0

Try commenting the mceusb section from /usr/local/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml.

That workt, it's not skipping steps anymore but now I'm missing a lot of buttons, especially the ok button to select.

You have two options. Remove the double keypresses from either the lircmap.xml or from lirc itself and leave the rest in.

Also I tried with different remote and different tsop IR and always I have the same problem.

Can you add "suppress_repeats 2" to you remote.conf header.

[matej9o]

After adding "suppress_repeats 2" in /home/xbian/remote.conf and /etc/lirc/lircd.conf :

Terminal

begin remote

name Gigabyte_Remote
bits 16
flags SPACE_ENC|CONST_LENGTH
eps 30
aeps 100

header 9043 4450
one 611 1638
zero 611 513
ptrail 609
repeat 9041 2200
pre_data_bits 16
pre_data 0xE896
gap 107966
toggle_bit_mask 0x0
suppress_repeats 2

my remote don't work at all.

Now I managed to make it work, but only when trying in irw. Irw show only one line for one button. When I'm tried it on xbmc it works like before, 2 movement for 1 button press.

What keys...
