 ====== Getting Started with the Iguanaworks USB IR Transceiver (Linux) ======

 Unlike our serial version of this product, to use and communicate with the USB device, a kernel driver or the igdaemon software must be used. The igclient program (or libiguanaIR.so library) communicates with our device through the igdaemon, but most people can use our devices with LIRC without installing our software.

 ===== Step 2: Installing iguanaIR =====
-Install the iguanair software package. You can get the software and installation instructions at [[http://iguanaworks.net/downloads.php|downloads page]]. We provide rpm and deb software repositories in addition to direct links to the .deb and .rpm files. A source tarball is also available. We recommend adding our repository to your list of source repositories. Then you can get the iguanair package installed by running (as root or with sudo) the command:

 and so on.  What we can see from this output is that the device was idle for around 0.4 seconds before a 6.4 millisecond header pulse was detected.  All the numbers printed above are times in microseconds.  This is not actually the raw data received from the USB device, but the daemon translates that rather odd format to microsecond pulses and spaces.  If this command fails, please check for the error on the TroubleShooting page.

-I will not go into the details of installing LIRC.  Please refer to http://lirc.org for such details.  The one thing I will say about LIRC installation is that you **must** make sure that your version of LIRC supports the iguanaIR driver.  Most linux distros do not LIRC with support for our driver, altough newer versions of Fedora do.  Take a look at  [[http://iguanaworks.net/2012/compile-lirc-on-fedora-rpm/|here for rpm]] and [[http://iguanaworks.net/2012/compile-lirc-into-deb-package/|here for deb]] for compiling LIRC with our driver the easy way.  To check if you have our driver compiled into LIRC, run:

 Once lircd is tested with irsend command we can be certain that the igdaemon and lircd daemon are both working, and properly communicating.  Congratulations, the iguanaIR specific stuff is done.

+===== Step 5: Getting a LIRC remote onfiguration =====
 As stated above, I'd suggest downloading your lirc configuration from https://sourceforge.net/projects/lirc-remotes/.  Even if you can start with a configuration where only a few buttons work that is //far// preferable to starting from scratch.  But, assuming that you can't find such a configuration file check our page about [[:lirc]], and why I'm not real fond of it.  But it's not like we have another option.

 So most likely you want your remote to work with mplayer, or mythtv.  This is not my department, but a little is said on the [[:lirc]] page.
