[PROBLEM] Logitech UltraX Media Remote

[zeRo82]

First of all, just to say Hi

I have a little problem configuring above mentioned remote, so I hope that someone can help me.

My Setup:
Raspberry Pi B @ 900 MHZ
Xbian 1.0a5
Logitech UltraX Remote RF remote (link)

With this guide i get no return from mode2

Code:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:c101 Logitech, Inc. UltraX Media Remote

I understand that remote is shown as usb keyboard, and that I need to configure lirc to recognize remote, but I don't know what exactly I need to change

thanx in advance for help

I have answered someone once on how to do this, please search the forum.

I managed to make it work

Just changed complete hardware.conf, and turned off CEC in xbian. Today remote works flawlessly

And thanks once more

[CurlyMo]

Can you share your config with us?

gladly

/etc/lirc/hardware.conf

And I don't know if it matters, I turned off pulse-eight CEC in xbian

[CurlyMo]

Can you try the following on a default Alpha 5 Lirc:

Code:

sudo su
wget -O - https://raw.github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/xbian-beta1/etc/lirc/hardware/logitech_ultrax.conf > /etc/lirc/hardware/logitech_ultrax.conf
wget -O - https://raw.github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/xbian-beta1/etc/lirc/hardware.conf > /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
reboot

Does your remote work out of the box after the reboot?

Yep, remote still works.

Only numerical part is unresponsive (no output on "irw"). And that leads to next question: if I want to reconfigure some of my buttons, what I need to do?

for example, i don't use KEY_RECORD, or KEY_RED and I need "Title" command (right mouse click).
Output of my irw:

Code:

000000008001018e 00 KEY_RED devinput
00000000800100a7 00 KEY_RECORD devinput
0000000080010072 00 KEY_VOLUMEDOWN devinput
0000000080010073 00 KEY_VOLUMEUP devinput
0000000080010071 00 KEY_MUTE devinput
0000000080010071 00 KEY_MUTE devinput

Do I need to make my own lircmap.xml?

[CurlyMo]

Can you map your remote with irrecord?

I'll try it tomorrow...

I just get this:

Code:

irrecord /home/xbian/remote.conf

irrecord -  application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc

Copyright (C) 1998,1999 Christoph Bartelmus(lirc@bartelmus.de)

irrecord: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
irrecord: default_init(): No such file or directory
irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions)

I'll try it tomorrow...

[CurlyMo]

Read the advice in the last line

[zeRo82]

Ok... after a nap, I got following:

Code:

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop
[ ok ] Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC:.
xbian@xbian ~ $ mode2
mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory

When I stop lirc, remote is unresponsive, like it should be... but mode2 doesn'n work.

with irrecord (i followed your tutorial) I still have same message

Please advise

little update:

Code:

xbian@xbian ~ $ mode2 --device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-if01
mode2: could not get hardware features
mode2: this device driver does not support the LIRC ioctl interface
mode2: did you mean to use the devinput driver instead of the default driver?
xbian@xbian ~ $

[CurlyMo]

What does this say:

Code:

ls -Al /dev/lirc*

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Apr 12 07:08 /dev/lircd -> ../var/run/lirc/lircd

But... i think i managed to record it with:

Code:

irrecord --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-if01 MyRemote

here is after recording:

[CurlyMo]

Now do the following:

Code:

sudo su
wget -O - http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CPPcMAj8 > /etc/lirc/remotes/logitech_ultrax.conf
echo 'include "/etc/lirc/remotes/logitech_ultrax.conf"' >> /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
/etc/init.d/lirc restart

Now run irw again and check it's output.

[zeRo82]

I already done that

I figured out why irw doesn't show output for numerical part:

Logitech UltraX is recognized as 2 input devices, 1 as remote, that I included in hardware.conf, and 2-nd as normal keyboard (up, down, left, right, select). I didn't wanted to move that part, because it works

Numerical part of remote belongs also in that keyboard group (tried "clear" and "enter", both with lirc stopped, and it gives me response.

I'm making now my lircmap.xml, and will post it as soon I'm done
