[PROBLEM] Lenovo USV IR Receiver

[w1zz4]

Hello,

I followed the Wiki tutorial on remote but nothing is displayed with I pushed my remote buttons while running mode2.

Here is the dmesg :

Terminal

...

Can you check if you can find some info on the internet about what modules you need.

Ok work a bit on it using that thread:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=136205

Looks like it is using mceusb modules but not in default vendor/product-id recognized by the module.
If I do :
Unplug IR
rmmod mceusb
modprobe mceusb
echo 0609 0357 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/mceusb/new_id
Replug Device
/etc/init.d/lirc stop
mode2

I see

Terminal

pulse 450
space 450
pulse 450
space 400
pulse 500
space 400
pulse 900
space 450
pulse 500
space 400
pulse 450
space 450
pulse 450
space 400
pulse 550

But I soons as I reboot I need to put the new id again.
And irw donT' output anyhting. But I'm near...

Oh sorry I modified /etc/lirc/hardware.conf before all this, I put back the default one and irw is working now. Just need to find a way to make it work on boot.

---

Here is the howto (as root) :
1. vi (or nano) /etc/udev/rules.d/95-mceusb.rules
2. Put

Code:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0609", ATTR{idProduct}=="0357", RUN="/etc/udev_mceusb.sh"

3. vi /etc/udev_mceusb.sh
4. Put

Code:

#!/bin/sh
modprobe mceusb
echo 0609 0357 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/mceusb/new_id

5. chmod 755 /etc/udev_mceusb.sh
6. Reboot!

Test with irw after reboot, you should see something like

Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ irw
000000008001006a 00 KEY_RIGHT devinput
0000000080010069 00 KEY_LEFT devinput
000000008001006c 00 KEY_DOWN devinput
0000000080010067 00 KEY_UP devinput

Since this is a common IR on ebay (and really cheap, bought mine for 13$) maybe it could be added to mceusb module.
