It should now work (once again, be sure to turn off the clock before proceeding). Then once again try the perl command to set the clock. Then unload and reload the lirc_imon driver. You will need to change config.h so that the line:Īnd then recompile and reinstall LIRC.

However, if you are like me, and have a separate IR receiver that you are using, and thus need to install LIRC with multiple drivers, you probably configured it something like:Īs I covered in an update to my post on setting up LIRC with multiple devices, the -with-driver=all option will configure it to use the VFD rather than the LCD. If you configured LIRC for only a single device (the Soundgraph iMON IR/LCD), then it should have handled everything for you. However, if it does work, then my best guess is that LIRC thinks you have the VFD rather than the LCD and built the lirc_imon module for that device. Check out yesterday's post on that topic. If not, somehow you don't have LIRC built correctly, with the correct patches, so you need to fix that first. If it STILL isn't working, go back again and test whether the iMONs IR and/or front panel buttons are still working with LIRC. After that, you can proceed to step 2 (turn off the clock, first).

If it works now, you may need to find a way to load the lirc_imon driver automatically (possibly by putting lirc_imon in /etc/modules). Then try running the command to set the clock again. If you get back nothing, try loading the driver manually:

#Soundgraph imon ir lcd drivers#
You should get back a few lines of text that contain the lirc_imon driver and some other drivers (lirc_dev, usbcore, etc). First thing you want to do is make sure the driver is loaded: If you weren't so lucky, then you might have a problem. You can proceed to step 2 after resetting the LCD with the following command: If that's what you get, then lirc_imon is configured fine. When you run this command you should see the LCD clear itself and then display a clock with the time "AM 09:30" (in an ugly font, where the 4's look like 9's, and are only different by a single pixel, but I digress). To test if your LIRC installation is correct, you can run the following command: For this reason, LIRC is really the right way to go. Well, I've heard it's possible to have LCDproc control the LCD directly without LIRC, but I haven't tried it so I don't know if it's true, and even if you were to do so you'd lose its IR and front panel button capabilities. If that isn't properly configured and installed, you have little hope of getting LCDproc going. LCDproc relies on the lirc_imon driver that is part of LIRC. Step 1 - Making sure your LIRC installation is good Other versions may need slightly different instruction. Once again, these instructions are specific to the 0038 version of the iMON LCD.

As it turns out, once you've got LIRC running the LCD properly, it's relatively easy to get LCDproc going too. The most popular program for controlling the LCD is probably LCDproc. The next step after that is to get the LCD display working.

Yesterday I discussed how to get the iMON display working in LIRC.
