How to: setup wakeup with your IR remote control

Hanz · Published in 2016-11-4 04:56:46

Working great on Openelec. Just one little problem, could it be that script.bin got overwritten with an automatic update?
Suddenly my wake up with the remote was not working anymore. When I checked my script.bin, everything changed back like before?

Yes, this is explicitly stated on dowload page.

This behaviour is forced, because some bugs in the past were solved simply by changing script.bin. My goal is to provide sane defaults and anyone could change them afterwards.

Not working for me too

My lircd.conf

begin remote
name /storage/.config/lircd.conf
bits 16
flags SPACE_ENC|CONST_LENGTH
eps 30
aeps 100
header 8940 4441
one 586 1644
zero 586 527
ptrail 582
repeat 8934 2236
pre_data_bits 16
pre_data 0xBF
gap 140322
toggle_bit_mask 0x0
begin codes
KEY_SLEEP 0x48B7

Copy code

My pre-data and KEY_SLEEP conversion

pre_data = 0xBF = 1011 1111 => (bit-reversed) => 1111 1101 = 0xFD = Y
KEY_SLEEP = 0x48B7 => code = 0x48 => 0100 1000 => (bit-reversed) => 0001 0010 = 0x12 = X

Copy code

and my script.fex

[s_cir0]
ir_used = 1
ir_rx = port:PL11<2><1><default><default>
ir_power_key_code0 = 0x12

Copy code

and...no magic on my Orange pi pc plus. Maybe i made wrong conversion?

Your conversion is ok, except one slight detail. pre_data_bits is 16, which meanst you have to take into account 16 bit value not 8 bit.
Try with this conversion:
0x00BF => 0xFD00

[s_cir0]
ir_used = 1
ir_power_key_code0 = 0x12
ir_addr_code0 = 0xFD00

Copy code

Thank you jernej! Now it is working perfect!

Not working for me. My pre_data from lircd.conf = 0x202, so:

I know I'm bit late, but I think you made a mistake for one bit. Try this:
EDIT: Miscalculated, original values are correctly calculated.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to add the wakeup function to my OrangePi PC Plus, but I found something strange..
Here's a portion of my lircd.conf:

begin remote
name /storage/.config/test-lircd.conf
bits 16
flags SPACE_ENC|CONST_LENGTH
eps 30
aeps 100
header 8997 4482
one 595 1665
zero 595 546
ptrail 586
repeat 8980 4415
pre_data_bits 26
pre_data 0x1A1F2F
gap 144358
toggle_bit_mask 0x0
begin codes
KEY_ZOOM 0x807F
KEY_POWER 0x00FF
KEY_1 0xC03F
KEY_2 0x20DF

Copy code

It shows "pre_data_bit 26", so how could I convert "pre_data 0x1A1F2F" ??
I've tried this:

0001 1010 0001 1111 => 1111 1000 0101 1000 = 0xF858 = Y = 63576

Copy code

and:

KEY_POWER 0x00FF
0000 0000 => 0000 0000 = 0x00 = X = 0

Copy code

but nothing happens..

Could anyone help me?
Thanx a lot!

That is certainly strange. Did you try to delete lirc config and run setup again?

Teo666 · Published in 2017-1-21 21:11:36

I tried to reconfigure lircd.conf many times with same results!
This lircd.conf and remote work well with Openelec/OSMC installed on a RaspberryPi with GPIO IR receiver..
lircd.conf files generated with different hardware are identical.
Another problem I have sometime is the infinite repeat of keypress, I've tried with min_repeat and suppress_repeat option and also with advancedsettings.xml but nothing changed, the problem seems randomly present, there's no _UP event (see irw below).

6c 0 KEY_DOWN_UP devinput
6c 0 KEY_DOWN devinput
6c 1 KEY_DOWN devinput
6c 2 KEY_DOWN devinput
6c 3 KEY_DOWN devinput
6c 4 KEY_DOWN devinput
6c 5 KEY_DOWN devinput
6c 6 KEY_DOWN devinput
6c 7 KEY_DOWN devinput
6c 8 KEY_DOWN devinput
6c 9 KEY_DOWN devinput
6c a KEY_DOWN devinput
6c b KEY_DOWN devinput
6c c KEY_DOWN devinput
6c d KEY_DOWN devinput

Copy code

Is that possible to use external IR receiver from RaspberryPi for debug?
Thank you for your help!!

I don't know if anyone managed to make GPIO IR driver working. If you say that it produces the same results, that's it. You can't use it for waking it from sleep. Try converting exactly 26 bits as it is said. But 26 is really strange number, 24 would be more reasonable. Do you have any other NEC remote at your disposal?
