PS Using the (right?) device gives me:

root@TVHEADEND:~# lircd -d /dev/ttyUSB0

Warning: cannot open /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf

The file /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf – so I guess this is the file that
needs to be configured correctly. But how??!

Subject: Cannot install GIRS driver

 

I am trying to install GIRS drivers for LIRC. I am using the newest 64bit
version of Ubuntu and have installed the latest LIRC version (0.9.4d) like
this:

cd /tmp

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lirc/lirc-0.9.4d.tar.bz2

tar -jxf lirc-0.9.4d.tar.bz2

cd lirc-0.9.4d

aclocal && autoheader && autoconf

./configure --with-x --with-driver=girs

make && sudo make install

Install must have worked as IRSEND can be executed – unfortunately with
error messages:

master@TVHEADEND:/tmp/lirc-0.9.4d$
<mailto:master@TVHEADEND:/tmp/lirc-0.9.4d$>  irsend SEND_ONCE LE55A956 KEY_1

do_connect: could not connect to socket

connect: No such file or directory

Cannot open socket /usr/local/var/run/lirc/lircd: No such file or directory

I am using a IR blaster that I assembled using these instructions:
http://www.harctoolbox.org/arduino_nano.html

The hardware works perfectly as I tested it using IrScrutinizer.

Unfortunately I do not know how to configure GIRS with the hardware module.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thank you and cheers,

Chris
