Hi all!

Raspberry Pi

 

On my Raspberry Pi I am using Raspbmc. I want to connect my TV remote control to the Raspberry. I am using Raspbmc Release Candidate 3. This version alredy has LIRC GPIO driver createdy by aron, so I skip part with compiling linux kernel and lirc with aron patches.

I am using TSOP 4843. Connection:

Vs ---> Pin 1
GND --> Pin 6
OUT --> Pin 12 (GPIO18)

Add in /etc/modules:

lirc_rpi

Run in bash:

sudo modprobe lirc_rpi

Test GPIO driver:

mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

You should see:

space 4960669
pulse 2697
space 880
pulse 477
space 816
pulse 499
space 379
pulse 472
space 439

You should create lirc config file:

sudo kill `cat /var/run/lircd`
irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 ~/lircd.conf

Copy config file:

sudo mv /etc/lirc/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.bak
sudo cp ~/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

Afret reboot you can check LIRC:

irw

Now you can configure XBMC. See manual

P.S. Thanks aron for his LIRC GPIO driver :)
