If all is OK go ahead and install the packages: The 0ubuntu2 versions do work well with Intrepid Alpha6 however.Īfter download, check that they are there and are owned by root:
#Soundgraph imon vfd download#
You can download the 0ubuntu1 versions of the lirc and lirc-modules-source files by going to the following pages:įor lirc-modules-source_0.8.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb ĭo not use the more recently released 0ubuntu2 versions of these files with Hardy 8.04. You have to separate these out based on the Ubuntu version and the IMON version. If the packages existed in the repositories, we should be able to just give apt-get instructions like we need to for Jaunty, using the syntax: sudo apt-get install libasound2 libasound2-dev lirc lirc-modules-source I like to keep such packages in /usr/src so that I know where they are and to get the permissions correct: We need to install an updated lirc_imon module, so download libasound2, libasound2-dev, lirc and lirc-modules-source.

The package with the _all flag is not dependent on architecture so don't change that.Ĭheck which Model device you have installed by running lsusb in a terminal. To use them for _amd64 installations simply ensure you change the package architecture flag _i386 to _amd64 in the wget and dpkg commands. It is essential that you have the lirc_imon module created through THIS procedure working before moving on to the procedures for setting up the display outlined in Part 2 and Part 3.ĪLSO NOTE: These procedures are set up for the _i386 packages. The Part 1 procedure should get the volume knob and IR remote systems working on this device as well as setting up lirc to handle the LCD display or VFD display as outlined in Part 2 or Part 3. And the periphery of the LCD display window has small dark squares around it that can be set up to display icons - these are not present on the VFD display. The LCD device also has a blue backlight whereas the VFD has no backlight. The little square pixels that display the characters on the VFD device are greenish in colour whereas those on the LCD device are blue. You must therefore know which device you have in your case beforehand.


The Part 1 procedures should work for either device, but different procedures are required to get the displays on these alternative devices working. NOTE: We have found that the ffdc model designator can refer to either the older VFD (Vaccuum Fluorescent Display) or the newer LCD displays. I'm starting with a monster page just to get everything in one place before splitting NOTE: The model-specific sections might make more sense as separate pages that links back and forth to/from this page. My intention is to make the instructions more generic over time to work with more IMON display models. The rest of this page will help with older Ubuntu releases.

For the imonlcd driver go do the imonlcd section and make sure the Protocol= line is set correctly for your device (0 for older LCDs, 1 for newer LCDs) Run Synaptic and select the lcdproc packageĮdit /etc/nf and change the Driver= line to imon or imonlcd as appropriate. Run Synaptic and select lirc-modules-source and lirc packagesĪt a Terminal window prompt: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc The package is currently compiled for Jaunty.įollow the Read about installing instructions UPDATE: I have created a PPA with a pre-release version of LIRC 0.8.6 which seems to solve all the problems addressed by this page. UPDATE: Users of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic should see this page: Please see the credits section for information on the people who have contributed to this guide.
