Lirc trouble on ra-pi 2, model B, rev. 1.1

Batboat · Sat Jan 16, 2016 8:49 pm

I wanna be able to receive, record and send signals using lirc. I have weird problems. Hope someone may be able to help me

I have installed raspberian including lirc. This version had many issues on the licr 0.9.0 so now I have installed lirc 0.9.3a. That did change something. Now I was able to use mode2 (receive IR) and I saw it on screen.

I have NO problem restarting (reinstalling server) and follow a guide that would work, please help (Obi-Wan Kenobi you are my only hope)

Here are some facts!

When I run "lircd" it outputs this:

Code: Select all

lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
lircd: No such file or directory

When I do: "irsend SEND_ONCE denon KEY_VOLUMEUP" it outputs:

Code: Select all

do_connect: could not connect to socket
connect: No such file or directory
irsend: could not open socket: No such file or directory

Here are some "facts" of what I have done...

"dmesg | grep lirc" outputs this

Code: Select all

[3.675699] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 245
[4.585786] lirc_rpi: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
[5.545997] lirc_rpi: auto-detected active low receiver on GPIO pin 18
[5.546357] lirc_rpi lirc_rpi: lirc_dev: driver lirc_rpi registered at minor = 0
[5.546371] lirc_rpi: driver registered!

"mode2" outputs this

Code: Select all

Using device: /dev/lirc0
Using device: /dev/lirc0
Warning: Running as root. (red. yeah I know.........)

/etc/modules looks like this

Code: Select all

i2c-dev
lirc_dev
lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=18 gpio_out_pin=17

/etc/hardware.conf looks like this

Code: Select all

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD=false

#Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.
#START_IREXEC=false

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="default"
# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_rpi"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""

In the end of /boot/config I have added this:

Code: Select all

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=18,gpio_out_pin=17

"uname -a! gives this

Code: Select all

Linux raspberrypi 4.1.15-v7+ #830 SMP Tue Dec 15 17:02:45 GMT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

my /etc/lircd.conf looks like this

I'll update if I find anything new
