Getting started

  • Add IguanaWorks sources:
echo "deb http://iguanaworks.net/downloads/debian binary-amd64/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iguanaworks.list>/dev/null

Sending IR signals

Short copy-paste:

sudo rmmod iguanair
sudo killall lircd
sudo /usr/sbin/lircd -H iguanaIR
sudo /etc/init.d/iguanaIR restart
sleep 1
irsend set_transmitters 3
irsend send_once LG_TEST RED

irsend set_transmitters 1 2 3 4
irsend send_once LG_TEST KEY_OK

TODO: make LIRC start automatically on boot AND make sure it starts with “-H iguanaIR” option

  • disable the kernel module

sudo rmmod iguanair

  • start LIRC (with iguanaIR support!)

sudo /usr/sbin/lircd -H iguanaIR

  • start iguanaIR (if it's already running do a restart)

sudo /etc/init.d/iguanaIR start

  • define transmitters to use

irsend set_transmitters 1 2 3 4

  • send commands

irsend send_once <model_name> <button>

Capturing IR signals

Start capturing raw codes

sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 -m

Copy the block of number you've got (not the big single number before each block). And paste it into lirc conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf. Conf template for new remotes:

begin remote

  name  LG_TEST
  flags RAW_CODES
  eps            30
  aeps          100

  ptrail        0
  repeat       0  0
  gap          108229

    begin raw_codes

      name KEY_POWER
//paste according codes block here//

      name KEY_OK
//paste according codes block here//

    end raw_codes
end remote
