Trouble with IR reciever

[kraleksandr]

I've bought unnamed IR reciever (like tsop1238) and connect it to the GPIO1, GPIO6 and GPIO12 pins (as said there ttp://aron.ws/projects/lirc_rpi/). But mode2 shows this

Terminal

mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory

Why?

[CurlyMo]

Did you do:

Code:

sudo modprobe lirc_rpi

[kraleksandr]

It helpd. Now mode2 says nothing (empty line). It means that I didnt connect the reciever correctly? After I reconnect it, reboot is required?

[CurlyMo]

First check if the module is loaded, then check with mode2. If that doesn't output anything while pressing buttons, you didn't connect the device properly.

Ok, I've create a remote.conf and there is another trouble. Key DOWN and key 2 on remote looks same in irw, both has this output

Terminal

00000000b4b43cc3 00 key_2 AKB35840201
00000000b4b43cc3 01 key_2 AKB35840201
00000000b4b43cc3 02 key_2 AKB35840201
00000000b4b43cc3 00 key_2 AKB35840201

0x codes of this buttons in remote.conf are different.

[CurlyMo]

Then you probably made a mistake with irrecord.

[kraleksandr]

where?

Terminal

key_down 0x12ED
key_2 0x3CC3

I'll do all what irrecord says...

[CurlyMo]

Just try again to be sure.

[kraleksandr]

О_о
now keys with dups are different
0x-codes same as previous. Difference only between 'begin remote' and 'begin codes'.

[CurlyMo]

Then those values probably need to be very precise. Then you try recording the button in raw mode.

[kraleksandr]

ok, I've created new conf file through irrecord -fn, for test I added the 2 key two times. But the first 'key2' raw code and the second is different.
Is there a way to echo raw data from ir? mode2?

Every key has different codes. Looks like it is normal =)
wait until I make a new file

All works now.
Plus I made some changes in Configuring remotes
