I got a SoundGraph iMon Mini remote control and I am trying to make it work as a controller for MythTV.

I bought it from Newegg under the Antec brand name.

Antec Multi-Station EZ External IR receiver and remote

It is now a "deactivated item" whatever that means. And I don't even have it going yet! Wow.

The lsusb command says this about it: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 15c2:0042 SoundGraph Inc.

This information looks promising: http://old.nabble.com/Antec-Veris-Multimedia-Station-E-Z-%28was:-Antec-Veris-Basic-and-LIRC%29-td22093148.html

and this http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=40290

I downloaded the lirc code via CVS and built it for a SoundGraph iMon controller.

I am running Ubuntu 9.10

In dmesg I see this

[ 600.570012] usb 4-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 [ 600.732026] usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 600.770005] input: HID 15c2:0042 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.1/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.0/input/input7 [ 600.770069] generic-usb 0003:15C2:0042.0005: input,hidraw4: USB HID v1.01 Mouse [HID 15c2:0042] on usb-0000:00:1a.1-2/input0 [ 600.787017] generic-usb 0003:15C2:0042.0006: hiddev97,hidraw5: USB HID v1.00 Device [HID 15c2:0042] on usb-0000:00:1a.1-2/input1

and I don't really want it being recognized as an HID device so I block that off as described in the Nabble page. But this alas does not work, I try renaming the file usbhid.conf not usbhid and I try unbinding by doing dmesg to find the right numbers then doing

echo 4-2:1.0 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind

Loading the modules lirc_dev and lirc_imon gives me this in dmesg [ 938.153523] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 [ 947.683350] lirc_imon: Driver for SoundGraph iMON MultiMedia IR/Display, v0.6 [ 947.683383] lirc_dev: lirc_register_driver: sample_rate: 0 [ 947.683423] lirc_imon: Registered iMON driver (lirc minor: 0) [ 947.683474] input: iMON PAD IR Mouse (15c2:0042) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.1/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.0/input/input8 [ 947.687356] lirc_imon: iMON device (15c2:0042, intf0) on usb<4:2> initialized [ 947.687382] usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_imon which looks promising
