Hi,

is there an overview, which lirc protocol names (e.g rc5) corresponds to which name in the yaml file (e.g. rc-5)?

I got "rc6_0" as lirc protocol and just tried "rc-6" in the yaml file and by chance it worked.
But it was just a guess, also for "necx"...

It would be helpful to have a list for the valid names (if this is even relevant!)

Thanks.

Is there/could there be a way of changing the GPIO pin used for the IR sensor in the Ryde config? If so, can anyone - perhaps Dave @G8GKQ - advise how this can be done?
Reason is that I received a very nice Argon One v2 case for my Pi 4 for Christmas, which has full-size HDMI ports and a built in IR sensor, but that is hard-wired on the Argon case PCB to GPIO 23 (physical pin 16) rather than the Ryde default of physical pin 11 of the RPi GPIO port.

Would be great if I could change the config to accommodate this, as the Argon case is pretty much ideal for a STB

Thanks,

It should be possible. Two changes will be required.

First you should amend the line in /boot/config.txt that currently reads

Code: Select all

dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=17

to read

Code: Select all

dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=23

You will need to use "sudo nano /boot/config.txt" to edit the file because it is owned by root.

Then you need to stop the Ryde using that pin as the connection for the front panel "Right" button. To do this, you should edit /home/pi/ryde/config.yaml and change the line that reads

Code: Select all

        RIGHT:  23

to

Code: Select all

        RIGHT:  17

You will need to reboot before the changes will take effect and you will need to repeat the config.yaml change after every software update.

Please let me know how you get on.

I have just added some information about remore control IR protocols the the Wiki here https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Ryde_remote_co ... _Protocols. It needs some additions, but I don't have access to many sample remote controls.

Hi Dave - initial problem I have is trying to get the latest Ryde build to work on my 4GB Pi4 - I’ve tried to build the SD card several times, and even without the mods you suggested above I can’t get Ryde to work - when I boot up I get a red full-screen ‘Longmynd not loaded’ message for a few secs, then a similar ‘Not Locked’ message.

I’m using a Pi 4, powered with an official Pi4 USB-C PSU, and with a fully tested (using MiniTioune on Windows) BATC MiniTiouner version 2 (with identification resistor) connected to one of the USB2 ports on the Pi. Any idea what may be causing this issue? I also have a MiniTiouner-Express (which I guess should also be supported by Ryde) but no joy using that either.

Hope you can advise Dave, as no doubt you have built a card with this release from scratch. VLC package appears to be installed - what would be the next steps to debug? Is there a way I can check that Ryde can see my MiniTiouner?

Thanks,
Mark, M5BOP

That sounds to be working as expected. "Longmynd not loaded" is displayed briefly until the Ryde application gets some input from Longmynd (the receiver). Then Longmynd reports that it is not locked (as it has no signal to lock to). So you just need to give the receiver a signal on 741.5 MHz at SR1500 (as you would get from the QO-100 beacon using a standard LNB). Your Ryde is certainly seeing the MiniTiouner.

If you log in by ssh you could set the correct remote control type and try that. You could also check the codes coming from your remote.

Thanks Dave - will give that a whirl!
