hi Zounder1 Adding a "&" to the end of a Linux command line puts it into the background. You could probably edit /usr/local/sbin/config.cfg directly, change IR_DEVICE="lirc0" to IR_DEVICE="lirc1", it might work. :confused: Remember to backup and reboot, $pcp bu & $pcp rb or $pcp br. I don't

Ok, time to document things:* To stop lircd* -sudo modprobe lircd sudo kill $(pidof lircd)- I want to use a MCE USB IR receiver as the RPi is buried behind some cabinet doors. I looked in the /dev/ directory and noticed LIRC0 AND LIRC1 listed. If I unplug the USB IR device, LIRC1 disappears.

Ok. Can someone confirm that I am on the right track here. To stop lirc: sudo modprobe lirc_rpi sudo kill $(pidof lircd) To see if my IR receiver is working: mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 This kicks back with: mode2: could not open /dev/lirc0 mode2: default_init(): Permission denied If run: sudo mode2
