GC100 vs USB-UIRT

[gadget]

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.

I have switched the controlled via back to the GC100 ( and selected port) but it doesn't do anyhthing. light on port an IR do show activity though. When I then switch the controlled by to the USB-UIRT it works OK.

It is worth noting that the GC100 device driver underwent some patching in 0810 to fix problems with IR transmitting. Are you using 0810?

Hi Thom,

Yes, I am using 810 because of the GC100 not working in 710. The strange thing is that it "was" working on port1 with my amplifier and port 3 to my cable box initially. I then got a new cable box which required the learning hence the purchase of the USB-UIRT to do the learning. Somewhere in between it stopped working. I have rebooted with and without the USB-UIRT without luck.

I have a development VM built and I will attempt to look at the GC100 code , but have no C++ experience. If you can point me to where approx in the code or which function to focus on i may be able to find something.

I think at this point, cross referencing your DCERouter, GC100, and USB_UIRT_0038 logs might yield some better answers.

Hi Thom

I have only been checking the GC100 log so will check what i get from the others this weekend. I have noticed that there is a lot more logging in the GC100 source. How do i enable more logging?.

The quickest way is to modify /etc/pluto.conf and comment out LogLevels with a #.

Hi Thom,

This is the log of the 2 devices when sending the 'ON' command.

The pronto codes are the same but the GC100 seems to convert it before sending.

I have done some further testing using "simpleir" from the global cache website and transmitting the pronto code with it also doesn't work, so there must be an issue with the GC100 itself. I know port 1 of the GC100 works as i am controlling my receiver with it. I have also switched the ports and it still doesn't work.
