how can i donate to the irreco team?

You could pay for job (not) well done, but that won't help make irreco better as our team is breaking up as all of us try to focus graduating.
You can contribute by finding new developers or becoming one.
I will also suggest QT team to become public as that project has brighter future.

source the youtube tutorial video (check comments by the uploader IreccoTeam):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HblSL0hG6Wg

As reluctant as I was to comment this subject as we use prototype, that source (IrrecoTeam) is reliable and some of us are more prone to talk.

TV-b-gone IR codes don't open to me, but I may mail the developers some day and ask.

Re: Irreco for N900

One group has grabbed a very large number of codes:

http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/codes/

(I think the tvbgone used such a source).

I think easiest way would still be using codes in WORLDcodes.c.
All powerbuttons in one pack and duplicates already removed.
Let others do the hard work and so on.

Re: Irreco for N900

The N900 manual states it can't do IrDA, that probably means its only a IR transmitter and not a receiver.

(Weirdly enough my PC has only a receiver ;))

Re: Irreco for N900

I could test the range on the N900, however the IRRECO team has for some reason not made the .install file correctly. The install file should create the needed repos, and then install the application, unfortunately they haven't done that, or uploaded the app to the Fremantle repos. I have only a few days before this unit goes back to Nokia, so the qucker the better.

Irreco that works with n900 (irreco-for-n900) is in fremantle extras-devel repository where it will stay until someone fixes all the little things.

Re: Irreco for N900

Any news on this lately?

Re: Irreco for N900

Bump up... Is anyone having this work properly from the repository? :)

Re: Irreco for N900

The ir sensor does work by enabling internal lirc

Code:

/etc/init.d/lirc start

This needs to be done as root.

The problem comes when trying to download already working remotes as they use the irtrans backend which is not supported yet. You can build your own remote specifying the internal lirc as source but it is a little hit and miss with the model types. I have successfully changed channels and turned off mky Sony Bravia 32500s model. I am just trying to fine tune it into working with all the buttons as I cannot find a way to incorporate buttons from different models which work.
