hi all,
i am trying to read date from my (polar) watch by using usb-infrared plug. when i plug it to my laptop and ran ‘lsusb’ konsole gives me nice readout that infrared usb-plug is detected. then i tried to start ‘irda’ service from yast, but it doesn’t start. i have tried to start it from /etc/init.d/irda start, but with same result - immediately after start command i run status commando and it tells me that irda is ‘unused’.
i have installed ‘lirc’ package. lirc can’t start - when i run /etc/init.d/lirc start i see that lirc tries to start up lircd but it can’t find device and shuts off.
can anyone help me out to start using infrared…
thnx
