LIRC not connecting with pypilot_hat

[seandepagnier]

the RF wired directly? Or the RF wired through atmega connected by SPI?

You can test it better stopping the hat service, and running
pypilot/hat/lircd.py

Ensure there are events reported from pressing keys.

Also check the IR it can receive directly from lirc, or via IR over atmega via SPI, so there is a radio option on the 33333 page.

I tried to update pypilot to the .34 version, and I am missing LIRC. The pypilot hat is not being recognized, the imu is found, but the screen is not working and can't access with the remote.  I have tried to update this to no avail.  I tried the install Sean suggested, and the other option with updating through the peppy fix suggested, but can't get LIRC to load:

Its the wrong version of lirc or you don't have pylirc installed.

To get the screen working.. which hardware are you using? The hat is not recognized so it lacks an eeprom or did you boot with it installed?

In any case you can edit ~/.pypilot/hat.conf and manually specify the lcd type if it can't take the hint from the hat's eeprom

Hi Sean, I am using a PI 3b+ and the PyPilot Hat.  I have one install where everything works, and another where the screen is not functioning.  For both, however,  "no pypilot hat detected" in openplotter Pypilot 2.2.0.  The Pypilot will drive the hydraulic motor, and display coordinates, but can't utilize the or program the wireless remote.

Can you show a picture of your setup so I can verify what you are working with? There are several changing versions of hardware.

Hi Sean I did go to the localhost:33333 page and tried to program, but it does not accept the command when programming.  The blue light comes on but nothing is registering when the command is selected.
