IRTrans Support Forum

I have an Origenae S16T case with an IR211 IR receiver but cannot get it to work. The Touchscreen works perfectly but the Remote control still doesnt.

When i start irserver /dev/ttyUSB0 it comes with the error "Could not open IP socket" and if i start with sudo it comes with the following error: "Error opening COM/USB Port / LAN Device.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 final with latest updates, IRTrans 5.9.07, and the receiver manufacturer is Future Device International, Ltd. VendorID: 0x0403 ProductID 0xfc60.

The ORIGENae support doesnt have any help available, so please can any of you help me out here?

The irserver SW can only run as the user root or with superuser rights as it is using priviliged TCP/IP sockets.

Are you sure that /dev/ttyUSB0 is the correct port for your device ?

Otherwise it might be a hardware problem - are you sure everything is connected correctly (most important the +5V standby) ?
Please note that we cannot help you with hardware problems as we do not know the hardware design of these OEM devices.

I think it is /dev/ttyUSB0, can i check this somewhere?

lsusb output gives:

Information about the IR210 (IR Receiver inside the Origenae S16T) can be found here: http://www.origenae.com/en/accessory_ir210.htm

The +5V Standby is plugged in ok. The Case also includes a 7" Touchscreen that is working correctly, and the Remote Control of the LCD screen menu is working over the same IR-Receiver and shows menu and options.

Can i give you more information that can help solve the problem?

thanks in advance.

Hi,
the device node is surely correct.

I am quite sure that this is an hardware issue.

As this receiver is non of our products (it is designed and build and sold by OrigenAE) we cannot help you any further here.

Please contact either your dealer or OrigenAE.

It is now working with: sudo irserver /dev/ttyUSB0.

Now i need to autostart it, with the parameter /dev/ttyUSB0 is that possible?

You will have to look how your LINUX handles autostart of services (e.g. /etc/init.d)
