Tim,

Is the Eth/USB driver for the Allo USBSig, the one that Allo are currently rolling out?

(They posted on their support pages on Audiophile Style, couple of days ago.)

Allo provides their enhanced ASIX Driver at the link below.
http://3.230.113.73:9011/Allocom/USBridgeSig/

The latest is v2.0.0 for kernel 4.19.97-v7+ and higher.

moOde also includes the kernel-specific driver for the super nice Comfast CF-912AC dual-band WiFi adapter :-)

Here's an updated relnotes. Its shaping up to be a nice reliability update :-)

Yet another package I was unaware of, even though apparently it's been around nearly a decade.

Now I need to revisit my work with devices like the FLIRC to see if triggerhappy can eliminate the need for my Python code. Better one complicated conf file than many add-ons.

Kent

Hi Kent,
Triggerhappy does work nicely with IR remotes.
Here is my conf file for some buttons on a WD remote:

flirc_wd.conf

Code:
# KEY=UP > KEY_U

KEY_U 0 /var/www/vol.sh up 4                                                                                          

# KEY= DOWN > KEY_D

KEY_D 0 /var/www/vol.sh dn 4                                                                                          

# KEY=ENTER > KEY_X

KEY_X 0 mpc play                                                                                                      

# KEY=STOP > KEY_Y

KEY_Y 0 mpc stop                                                                                                      

# KEY=PLAYPAUSE > KEY_T

KEY_T 0 mpc toggle                                                                                                    

# KEY=OPTION > KEY_L

KEY_L 0 mpc clear; mpc add http://live-radio01.mediahubaustralia.com/2LRW/mp3/; mpc play; mpc add http://live-radio01$

# KEY=NEXT > KEY_N

KEY_N 0 mpc next                                                                                                      

# KEY+PREVIOUS > KEY_O

KEY_O 0 mpc prev                                                                                                      

# KEY=POWER > KEY_P

KEY_P 1 /etc/power.sh

Note :
1. KEY L commands need to be on one line, no breaks.
2. I had to power down via script KEY P:

power.sh

Code:
#!/bin/bash

sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now

However, there appears to be a conflict with CDPlay.

With a CD playing Flirc has full functions - play, pause, next etc.
When the cd is stopped and ejected Flirc stops.
Re-starting Flirc has no effect.
A Reboot is needed to restore functions

Could you confirm and maybe suggest a fix? If CDPlay works for you without conflict with your original Python Flirc code then I will try it as well.

moOde 6.4.2, Pi 3B +, Flirc V1, no tweaks.

Regards,
Richard.

Hi, Richard.

Thanks for this info. I’ll look into it and post any updates in appropriate places.
