Hi there,
I've bought a new Dive computer. My dealer gives me a Scubapro ALADIN
SPORT
(http://www.scubapro.com/en-US/USA/instruments/computers/products/aladin-sport.aspx)
Now I've ty to connect the MosChip Semiconductor MS7780 4Mbps Fast
IRDA Adapter to my Fedora 23 Laptop.
[root@hp635 ~]# lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 9710:7780 MosChip Semiconductor MCS7780 4Mbps
Fast IrDA Adapter
[root@hp635 ~]#
[root@hp635 ~]# modprobe ircomm
[root@hp635 ~]# modprobe ircomm_tty
[root@hp635 ~]# ls /dev/ircomm0
/dev/ircomm0
[root@hp635 ~]#
I this the correct device?
With the Subsurface-4.5.3-x86_64.AppImage I can't find my model. Is
there a generic or similar model?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

It is highly likely that the IrDA interface on the Aladin Sport is
similar to that of the Uwatec Galileo computers. In that case, read
the
section on using the Galileo in the Subsurface user manual. This
involved installing the IrDA tools from the Internet. The installation
is simple and works very efficiently for the Galileo. Please, would
you
let me know if this mechanism works for the Aladin so that we can
update
the user manual?
Kind regards,
willem

Hello there,
I've managed to connect this IRDA-Adapter to Windows 7 on a KVM-Host
(CentOS 7 x86_64). With the Subsurface-Programm under Windows with
Uwatec Galileo Luna I can read all my dive logs from the dive computer.
While reading the dives the IRDA-Adapter shows a red light. With Fedora
23 there is no light. Tomorrow I will try compile the MCS7780 from
source.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Andreas Reschke

After a few hours research at the internet, I found this page:
http://www.lustenberg.org/2014/12/irda-linux-and-a-working-mcs7780-chipset/
with this short Howto:
- install the irda-utils package for your distribution
- Upon inserting the device, this adapter will automatically be
recognized as ID 9710:7780 MosChip Semiconductor MCS7780 4Mbps Fast IrDA
Adapter and the mcs7780.ko driver loaded
- The user will likely have to manually load the IRCOMM driver as root
user, e.g. "modprobe ircomm-tty" *, which will automatically load
ircomm.ko as well. -- al: this automagicly loaded for me.
- Now, the irda0 pseudo device will be available, e.g. "iwconfig" will
list irda0, but "ifconfig" won't as the irda0 interface hasn't been
initialized.
- So as root, execute "ifconfig irda0 up" which initializes the irda0
interface [THIS is the magic command that makes it all work that seems
to be missing from a few guides --Alex.]
- Next as root, execute "irattach irda0 -s" (discovery)
- Next as root, execute "irdadump" in a terminal
- start the subsurface programm and "Import > from Dive Computer >
Manufactor Uwatec with Model Galileo Luna"
Now I have all my dives from the dive computer on my Laptop.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Andreas Reschke
