Hi Jo
thats the problem I've having - I can't get my head around all these
codes and "emulation".
could you provide a step-by-step from the beginning on how you
achieved this?
thanks
Craig
The Kameleon can either act as a learning remote (you press a button
on an IR device, and assign that signal to a Kameleon button), or as
an emulated remote, where it pretends to be another manufacturer's
remote. The latter is achieved by holding the MAGIC button for a few
seconds when in a given mode (e.g. TV mode, DVD mode), then pressing a
code. In my case, SAT mode -> MAGIC 1300 gave a fairly featured remote
control for some random set-top box. Some types of remote are easier
to generate LIRC configs for than others, some are nigh on impossible.
The @sat remote appears to map most (but not all) of the buttons on
the Kameleon - the "xmode2" application reads from the LIRC device and
shows the raw data received, so you can quickly see whether a button
press is actually transmitting anything.
You can then use either the irrecord app to generate a remote-specific
lircd.conf config file, or use a pre-made config (there are many on
the lirc webpage).
As for getting LIRC itself up and running, that's very
distribution-specific and accident-prone, so I can't recommend on that
front

Hi Jo
Thanks for the reply - I've got lirc itself setup with the lircd.conf
for the tiny remote that comes with the 250.
Are you sure your using the Kameleon URC-9960? I don't have a "magic"
button but I do have a setup button which I can then enter codes. so am
presuming thats the way.
Could you post your lircd.conf? I'm familiar with setting these up but
having a ready made one might be a good launching point.
Thanks
Craig
