FLIRC DOA?

[mercrapper]

Hi I received my Flirc device today. Plugged it into 3 different Linux machines and none of them would recognize it. Running the ./Flirc just kept saying could not open device.

Am I missing something? Or is it DOA?

Thanks

Steve

Hi Jason,

 

That worked on my 32-bit XBMCBuntu installation, but threw some kind of library error on my 64-bit Crunchbang installation.

In any case, I was able to program it with my 32-bit system.

 

Just a couple of suggestions, if you don't mind.

 

1. Include a readme with instructions (or hints like you need to run with sudo)

2. Maybe the device and include a little LED to to indicate that it is connected and working.

 

Great work. It works great with my Harmony 640.

 

Thanks

Steve

Just to follow up, this is the error I get when running Flirc with sudo on my 64-bit #! installation
