Firefly mini driver

Ubuntu 9. RFI : Some computers produce large amounts of radio frequency interference RFI which can interfere with the operation of these remotes as well as other wireless equipment.

Try to mount the receiver as far from the computer as the wire can reach. If the operation of the remote is erratic, try holding the remote right next to the receiver antenna. If this works better, there is probably an RFI problem. Installing clip-on ferrite chokes on all of the wires coming out of the computer which do not already have them those cylindrical lumps in the wires can fix the problem or make a significant improvement.

Search Amazon under "electronics" for "ferrite choke" and there should be many available. It is usually possible to buy bags of 10 for a few dollars. These devices open up so that the wire can be laid through the center.

They are sometimes shipped in a closed position so that the two small latches must be released with fingernails or a small screwdriver to open them up for installation. Install the lirc package using Synaptic, Aptitude, or just "sudo apt-get install lirc". Restart the lircd daemon or just reboot the computer. Run "irw" and press buttons on your remote. You should see output for each button.

This is probably a good idea but at present, only about half of the keys are implemented. There is also the more fundamental problem that the application must have the desktop focus to receive keyboard input and that might not always be the case for MythTV running on a multipurpose system.

The following description no longer works as written on the later releases but can be a basis for setting up the LIRC interface. If you are not up to working with the system configuration, let it run as a keyboard. Run the "Software" utility from the "System Tools" menu and search for "lirc". So, in order to keep these settings you need to include these xmodmap commands in an init script during your window manager startup. Alternatively, you can create a text file of the key settings to launch with xmodmap.

For example one can create a keys. Using this method does not require the use of LIRC, the remote will act as if it is a keystroke on the keyboard. The rest of this guide is dedicated to configuring your system so that all buttons on the Firefly Mini are functional. This is achieved by:. NOTE: lirc is used to handle 'special' buttons, the normal buttons , up, down, left, right, ok are not handled by lirc. When plugged in to the system the Firefly Mini should be recognized as a composite USB device with two interfaces:.

You should be able to read from each of the above event devices and see some data appear when keys are pressed. If you do not have full kernel support, some keys such as the red 'Snapstream' button do not produce any output on any of the event devices.
