11:58.16DocScrutinizer05haha
11:59.21keboidhello :) i think there are still more of us, i just recently got my n900
11:59.48Mark__Tactually I just got one again from a friend after my last one broke ~ 2 years ago
12:00.04DocScrutinizer05writes a virtual postIt note to eventually do a little bit of shell magic to filter out and count the number of unique IPs doing a standard HAM update download from repos, during one week.
12:00.23keboidit was my dream for years since i use ubuntu on pc and laptop
12:00.28DocScrutinizer05a year ago this been in the range of 30k
12:01.03Mark__TIt was still with warranty so I got a n8 :( as replacement
12:01.17DocScrutinizer05eeeew
12:02.21Mark__Tno repair possible no replacements available anymore, and they weren't willing to import a n9 for me
12:02.57keboidwell, the only way is to buy another one for parts, i guess
12:32.19DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: > >However the GTM601 doesn't only use USB. It also has a DAI port (Digital Audio Interface) for bi-directional audio (which is connected to one of the McBSP audio ports on the OMAP3), and a "wake-up" line which is pulsed on an incoming phone call or text message .While these three connections all relate to the one device, there is no way to describe this hardware in devicetree as a single unit. Rather the input "wake-
12:32.20DocScrutinizer05up" signal and the audio channel are specified as separate devices, the USB interface is left to be discovered, and the relationship between the three is left for some application to just "know" about.<<

15:41.07keboidwow, i just got fmradio working, after 2 days research and failed attempts
15:42.53keboidnow next plan is to make ir remote working..
16:13.23DocScrutinizer05go for original irreco and make sure lirc got started by init script (you need the right sudo permission file installed for that iirc. irreco should ship it)
16:13.34DocScrutinizer05but that's definitely not cssu related
16:15.34freemangordonthe right tool is pierogi ;)
16:16.59DocScrutinizer05never looked into it, might work as well
16:17.08freemangordonworks waaaay better
16:17.15DocScrutinizer05impossible
16:17.19freemangordonand is more user friendly
16:17.29DocScrutinizer05that *may* be possible
16:17.57freemangordonthe guy that wrote pierogi seems to know a bit about IR communications and remote controls
16:18.01DocScrutinizer05though for me it translates into "no flexibility"
16:18.12freemangordonand he used irreco's data
16:18.25DocScrutinizer05honestly, what it got to know about that stuff?
16:18.33freemangordona bit :P
16:18.39DocScrutinizer05not teally
16:18.42DocScrutinizer05really*
16:18.59freemangordonanyway, pierogi is OK
16:19.17freemangordonat least WFM
16:19.31DocScrutinizer05all the knowledge is in lirc, and lirc simply sends bitpatterns to an uart
16:20.17DocScrutinizer05actually it just switches on and off a LED, in the end
16:20.22freemangordoniirc pierogi controls the led in SW, but might be wrong
16:20.26DocScrutinizer05little to know about that
16:20.35DocScrutinizer05omg
16:20.42freemangordonyes, but timings a re critical for lots of devices
16:20.45DocScrutinizer05then pierogi is broken by design
16:21.04freemangordonrepeat, I might be wrong
16:23.47ShadowJKi never managef to get irreco to send anything at all
16:24.33ShadowJKand pirerogi has none of my things :)
16:25.01freemangordonShadowJK: what kind of devices you have?!?
16:27.38ShadowJKmotorola iptv box, lg tv?
16:27.53freemangordonmy lg works fine with pierogi
16:27.59freemangordonlg TV
16:32.00ShadowJKohh, list scrolls up not down
16:32.53ShadowJKit was at bottom and i thought lg vcr and aircon were only choices
16:33.49freemangordonwhivh version is that?
16:33.59freemangordon*which
16:37.16ShadowJK1.1.25 it says
16:37.29freemangordonsame here
16:37.35freemangordonshould work with lg
16:37.46ShadowJKyeah it works
16:37.52freemangordon:)
16:37.57ShadowJKdidn't occur to try scroll up
16:38.13freemangordonin device selection menu?
16:39.21DocScrutinizer05I defined my very own RC layout and optimiced the lirc driver, with irreco

17:14.54Palidid not looked at mails yet
17:15.15freemangordonit was sent e week or so ago :)
17:16.55keboidboth irreco and qtirreco wont download presets, idk how to make them work, i'll try pierogi i think
17:19.17*** join/#maemo-ssu dafox (~dafox@88.128.80.6)
17:23.07keboidtough it did not work either till now, i'll have to do more research
17:26.10*** part/#maemo-ssu mkaindl (~mkaindl@ama-dablam.markus-kaindl.de)
17:27.58DocScrutinizer05hmm, downloading just worked back when I used irreco. Uploading too, I contributed a nifty dual planes design for Loewe TV. Maybe the URL changed?
17:30.53*** join/#maemo-ssu mkaindl (~mkaindl@ama-dablam.markus-kaindl.de)
17:40.22keboididk, and even if it changed, idk how to solve it :)
17:46.08sixwheeledbeastAFAIK irrecos not worked for a good while.
17:46.43sixwheeledbeastPierogi is the way to go.
17:47.39keboidi'll have to take the time to figure out how, atleast it does have automated search
17:48.28sixwheeledbeastIt works well if your keyset is in it's db.
17:49.11keboidit isn't yet, it'd be nice if it had an option to learn from the original remote
17:50.00sixwheeledbeastDo you have a make and model of the equipment? Put it on the request page.
17:50.28sixwheeledbeastYou can't learn from the remote the N900 doesn't have the HW for that
17:50.43keboidyep, its an older grundig tv, and idk, maybe the set top box would be nice as well
17:51.05keboididk tough its probably a device thats used in Hungary only maybe
17:51.40sixwheeledbeasthttp://wiki.maemo.org/Pierogi_Device_Compatibility_List
17:52.04keboidanother way would be if we could check the frequency of the individual keys on the remote and then set them manually
17:53.47keboidonly one grundig tv there, which did not work till now, nvm i'll figure it out somehow... atm struggling with pc install
17:54.12sixwheeledbeastI'd check all the Grundig keysets at close range, if no luck try the auto search.
17:54.25keboidi'll do that, thx
17:55.04sixwheeledbeastJust because there is only one device on the wiki doesn't mean it has one keyset.
17:55.52sixwheeledbeastThe wiki is makes and models of devices "proved to work" by testers of Pierogi.
17:56.39keboidi noticed that while pierogi did the auto search
17:57.34sixwheeledbeastThere are 4 Grundig TV keysets, use "select keyset" mode the find them manually.
17:58.22sixwheeledbeastI know the GUI and wiki pages of Pierogi very well :)

22:49.55DocScrutinizer05sigh, pierogi has quite a number of weird assumptions in its rationale
22:50.34DocScrutinizer05and as I thought it's NOT flexible or "universal", rather the contrary
22:53.55DocScrutinizer05pierogi tries to implement a "one size fits all" "universal" key layout, and to achive that it hardcodes the the keyset for each device it supports, so they all fit into that one fixed keymapping
22:56.09DocScrutinizer05with irreco you can define your layout freely, and you can pick the right driver that works with the correct IR codeset (there are only like max one dozen worldwide) and carrier frequency. You can even tune the frequency if it's too much off the standard range usually found.
22:58.24DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: I beg to differ on "freemangordon> the guy that wrote pierogi seems to know a bit about IR communications and remote controls"
23:05.12*** join/#maemo-ssu nox- (noident@freebsd/developer/nox)
23:09.22DocScrutinizer05uses WLAN to talk via irreco on one N900 to lircd on a second N900 placed directly in front of TV. Works like a charm, even from next room - obviously
23:11.22DocScrutinizer05what I'm missing in irreco are generic codesets for RC5, RC6 etc IR-codes, comprehensive and named according to the standard meaning as defined in the code specs
23:13.00DocScrutinizer05I don't mind if I have to assign "vol+"-code to the channel-up button on my layout since my TV manuf thought it was leete to use the codes in that non-standard way
23:13.47DocScrutinizer05usually each codeset consists of a 64 distinct codes, each one with a standard meaning.
23:14.11DocScrutinizer05as already mentioned there are no more than a dozen of such codesets
23:14.22DocScrutinizer05RC5 and RC6 are just 2 of them

23:20.10DocScrutinizer05http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_IR#Standards
23:22.06DocScrutinizer05>>Software running on a PC with a suitable interface could also control the A/V components and monitor their activity; for example, your computer could tell what disk and track were playing in your CD changer and look up the titles in one of the internet CD databases. (S-Link)<< I did that 10 years ago
23:22.23DocScrutinizer05so maybe you can trust me when it comes to CIR
23:24.12DocScrutinizer05btw the wired S-link protocol is a modified one-wire I2C variant, and I had the docs for less than 5000$, they gave it to me for free
