<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to convert my windows setup with a
serial IR transmitter that controls my TV setup using a homebrew IR transmitter
and the WinLirc program - this setup works fine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I like to get rid of the laptop and use an Alix
3d3 board with Voyage linux installed. The issue is that the Alix board does not
have the necessary signals in the RS232 port (i.e. CTR, DTR etc) that is used to
controll the IR transmitter and reciever.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Therefore I have found some components that uses an
MM232R with an FTDI chip, driving an IR transmitter and reciever from USB, and
should be supported by LIRC.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After installing Voyage, LIRC and drivers for the
FTDI, I notice that the timing is slightly of compared to other setups of LIRC,
i.e. about 12% off.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not sure whether this is due to the driver,
the Alix board or anything else in my setup, but it does cause my TV to ignore
the transmitting of signlas from the Alix board with the same remote settings as
the Winlirc setup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone made any similar setup, i.e. Voyage +
LIRC + FTDI/MM232R setup to transmitt IR signals?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>best regards</FONT></DIV>
