[mythtvnz] Setting up an irblaster

[Corrin Lakeland]

Hi all,

I have an irblaster from irblaster.info.  I have LIRC configured and working 
for my remote, and I believe I have it correctly configured for the IR 
blaster.  However, I can't get any infra-red out of it :-(

I have:

root@dango:~# setserial /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4

      /usr/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1 
--output=/dev/lircd1 --pidfile=/var/run/lircd1.pid

root@dango:~# less /etc/modules.conf
...
alias char-major-61-1 lirc_serial
options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8
####IR setup####
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c
install lirc_serial setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none; /sbin/modprobe 
--ignore-install lirc_serial
...

root@dango:~# less /etc/lircd.conf
...
begin remote

  name  Pace_RC-30
  bits           16
  flags SPACE_ENC|CONST_LENGTH
...


When I run changechannel.sh I get no errors, but no infra-red :(
I tried the infra-red camera trick and concluded that my camera can detect 
infra-red but my irblaster isn't transmitting any.  So, I don't know if the 
device I was shipped was DOA, or if my serial port on my MB is broken, or if 
I have something misconfigured somewhere...


Here is some log output, if it helps...

Any help, ideas etc. would be appreciated
