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
ok - am getting there (phew this is taking forever!)
now I have the remote talking to the 250's reciever.
could you post a copy of your lircd.conf file? it might make the rest of
this a little easier
Thanks
Craig
