Moode Forum - Help … a Code Monkey

I am not familiar with coding, but after a lot of tries (monkey see – monkey do) in the past, I manage to setup my raspberry 2 among with MoOde v3.1 and a IR remote.

It works just fine but I would like to update it to the latest version.
So I started from the beginning.

My problem is that I can’t setup my remote.

Is there a step by step guide to follow?
I tried the one of FizzyTea and from DRONE7 with no success

Sorry for my English
I hope the above make sense

Thanks in advance

Code Monkey 101.....What hardware, what version,???

If you followed a step-by-step at what step did you encounter errors and post the error message...

Hi DRONE7,
Thank you very much for your answer!

I’m trying to install my IR remote to a raspberry Pi2 with the latest MoOde v5.3.1
Same hardware is working OK on MoOde v3.1

After i was read yours & FizzyTea posts, here is my step by step that I have follow:

Step 1: Install LIRC (sudo apt-get install lirc)

Step 2: Enable gpio-ir kernel module by adding in /boot/config.txt :

Code:
dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=22

dtoverlay=gpio-ir-tx,gpio_pin=7

Note that till now in the MoOde v3.1 works OK by adding this lines:

Code:
dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

dtparam=gpio_in_pin=22

dtparam=gpio_out_pin=7

Step 3: Configure LIRC by changing /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf like this :

Code:
driver = default

device = /dev/lirc0

Step 4: Add remote control config file in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/lircd.conf
I paste the lircd.conf from the working v3.1 witch is in form of :

Code:
          KEY_HOME                 0x609F

          KEY_BACK                 0x18E7

          KEY_UP                   0x629D

          KEY_DOWN                 0x6897

          KEY_LEFT                 0xE21D

          .....

Step 5: Reboot

Step 6: Test

Code:
irsend SEND_ONCE nuxii-remote KEY_OK

The command returns no errors

Step 7: Create .lircrc (/home/pi/.lircrc )
Again I paste my working file witch is in form of :

Code:
begin

prog = irexec

button = KEY_LEFT

config = mpc prev;mpc play; blink 13

end

begin

prog = irexec

button = KEY_RIGHT

config = mpc next;mpc play; blink 13

end

begin

prog = irexec

button = KEY_OK

config = mpc toggle; blink 13

end

...

Step 8: Modify irexec.service (/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/irexec.service) to :

Code:
[Unit]

Description=Handle events from IR remotes decoded by lircd

After=lircd.service mpd.service

Requires=lircd.service

[Service]

User=pi

Group=pi

ExecStart=/usr/bin/irexec --daemon /home/pi/.lircrc

Type=simple

TimeoutSec=0

Restart=always

RestartSec=10

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Step 9: Reboot

Step 10: Test

Code:
systemctl status lircd

systemctl status irexec

Both of them are activated with no errors, but my IR control doesn’t work at all !

What I’m doing wrong ?

It’s over a week that I’m trying every possible combination with no luck
Any recommendation will be appreciated.

Any idea / suggestion to try ?

No one ?

Cry

Any help will be appreciated ...

Apologies....a family member has been hospitalised and I have little time.

When I can I will start from scratch and check...perhaps tomorrow...thank you for your patience...

No worries
Health and family should always have priority.
When you are ready …

When you are working with Moode 5.3.1 then do work with this:

http://gernot-walzl.at/index.php?nav=.%2...ian%2FLIRC

Follow the instructions with Kernel 4.19.

The only change is the command irrecord. You need this command and start it at the pi direction:

sudo irrecord -n -d /dev/lirc0
