linux-enable-ir-emitter

Provides support for infrared cameras that are not directly enabled out-of-the box (at the very least, the kernel must recognise your infrared camera). The purpose of this repository is to activate the emitter when the infrared camera is called.

linux-enable-ir-emitter can automatically generate a driver for any infrared emitter.

This software was created to use Howdy, a Windows Hello for linux https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy.

For Arch distro based :

Page links : Release AUR package and VCS AUR package.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/linux-enable-ir-emitter.git
cd linux-enable-ir-emitter

Feel free to create a PPA for Debian distro based and share it with this community. Or any other package repository in order to support other Linux distribution.

How to enable your infrared emitter ?

  2. sudo linux-enable-ir-emitter configure look at the ir emitter and answer to the asked questions. You can specify your infrared camera with the option -d /dev/videoX, by default is /dev/video2.

If you like the project, don't hesitate to star the repository to support me, thank you !

Please consult the wiki before open an issue.

The software supports the configuration of multiple devices, execute the configure command and specify each time which device to configure.

You can also always try to configure your infrared camera yourself by following the tutorial on this wiki page.
