====== lirc remote control ======

==== Build/Install ====

  - Download/build lirc (obtainable from [[http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.2/system/lirc/|slackbuilds - lirc]])
  - install lirc
  - figure out the serial port (mine is ''/dev/ttyS0'')

==== Configure ====

  - figure out the controller ''lircd.conf'' file - [[http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/|lirc configs]]
  - get things working:
    - either start lircd <code># lircd -H creative -d /dev/ttyS0</code>
    - or start irrecord to map your buttons to the keys <code># irrecord -H creative -d /dev/ttyS0 conf-file-name</code>

==== Use ====

  - configure ''~/.lircrc'' to map keys
  - as your normal "user", start ''irexec'', which will interpret the IR commands to actual system commands
