Installation issues / GC100 vs USB-UIRT
« on: June 30, 2009, 04:36:05 pm »
I have recently installed a ISB-UIRT to be able to learn the pronto codes for my devices, which I have now done and been able to test using the USB-UIRT as the controlling device.

However when I switch it back to the GC100 as the controlling device the codes no longer work. I did have the GC100 working initially with 1 of my devices via IR but that doesn't work ant more. The transmit lights still show that it is trying but it doesn't work.

The serial port of the GC100 is working as it can still switch my Projector on and off.

Hi jimmejames,

Use web admin  -> wizard -> AV Devices and you can select the COM port there.

i have continued on and now get an error when running apt-get update.

what is the exact syntax for /etc/apt/sources.list
wiki says to do this.
deb <ip-address-of-your-builder> ./

i am using deb http://127.0.0.1/ ./                     ( and variations of but nothing works)

I have been hacking the ListSerialPorts.sh script for a differnt issue but if you want to try the change and see if it resolves the problem.

Installation issues / Re: learning pronto ir codes with USB UIRT
« on: June 25, 2009, 03:00:14 pm »
A lot of searching and playing and I have resolved my issue. I am controlling my devices using a GC100 but purchased the USBUIRT to do my ir learning. Once I changed the controlled the controlled by device to the USBUIRT I was able to learn the codes.

However I now have the problem with one of my devices that when I test the learnt code and the USBUIRT it works OK, but switching it to the GC100 the codes are transmitted (lights blink) but nothing works.?? I have changed batteries and the only odd thing that i notice is that each time i learn the code it changes. Still works however when testing with the USBUIRT.

While trying to debug this I noticed the the USBUIRT was showing up as 'pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0+2' instead of /dev/ttyUSB0 in the available com ports. I spen tsome time with the script '/usr/pluto/bin/ListSerialPorts.sh' and have changed line 15 to
Code: [Select]
SedPattern_UsbId='s,^.*(pci.*/*)/usb[0-9]*/[0-9./-]*/[0-9]*-[0-9.]*:[0-9.]*/ttyUSB[0-9]*/tty/(.*)?|/ttyACM[0-9]*?$,/dev/\2,g'

This works for my 810 system, but i don't claim to know anything about 'sed' so am happy if someone else has a better option. (didn't like the serial hack at wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Serial_Hack)

Any ideas on how to get the missing files. Has taken me a week to get to this point so would hate to have to start again.

I have found another thread that does the learning from the UI. When I do it this way the Learning ... shows in the bottom right hand corner but doesn't go away until i hit the learn button again.

Hi Thom,

For a project of this size to be managed and developed by so few is a magnificent achievement and deserves applause.

The re-design of the website and training/documentation is definitely a must in moving forward. I like what qball4 and massabuntu  are saying about people telling you what they are capable of, and a web page listing jobs/priorities would help in this regard.

The fact the the system is so huge and does so many things is part of the problem. I believe that a core set of features needs to be decided upon to make the 810 release more maintainable. These core set of features then need to be well documented and present well for new users, which will then bring in more templates. This is my biggest issue that every piece of equipment I have I have had to create my own template for.

I am still in process of building my dev machine ,but will attempt to take on the task of developing the windows orbiters for 810 assuming they need a windows platform to be built on and that I have learn't enough about the backend now.

Hi Seth,

I am using 810 Alpha on i386.
I have a GC100 with the IR sensor connected directly to the unit so line of site is not my issue. I can control my AMP with IR port 1 so I am pretty confident GC100 is OK for transmitting.

I only deleted the AV-device and re-added it in from the same device template. I am in the process of creating some device templates for some of my equipment so will not delete them.
Hope to have a few to check in soon.

Installation issues / learning pronto ir codes with USB UIRT
« on: June 23, 2009, 03:06:58 pm »
I have just purchased a USB UIRT to use in learning the pronto codes for my STB and DVD player.
I have attached the USB-UIRT to my core/hybrid but when I press learn nothing comes up.

This is process i am following.
  • From admin website on core goto wizard -> Devices -> A/V Equipment
  • Select AV Properties for device
  • Select AV Properties for device
  • Then select new Code

Nothing Happens.

I have installed Lrnhelper.exe with the USB-UIRT on a windows XP machine. I can learn the code and test it but when I paste  and test it into the new code box it doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

I couldn't work out what the problem was, but have since deleted and re-created the device and am no longer getting the error.

Thanks

I think chriss is on the simpler track of using indexes. The 'program' table has starttime in its primary index and endtime in a secondary index.
Try creating an index with starttime and endtime and mysql should use it by default.

I am now getting this error in the log

Failed Opening serial port: ttyS_54_0. <0xb4efdb90>
IOPool::handleStartup Open() failed <0xb4efdb90>

This is the serial port of the GC100 which is device 54.
How can i check what is causing this error.
