mode2 partial read

By chimo on (updated on )

Once you have dtoverlay working for your infrared reciever, if you run mode2 to capture signal but run into “Partial read 12 bytes” (where the number may differ), you may need to switch from the “devinput” driver to the “default” driver.

For example, on the command-line:

k3rnel-pan1c:~$ mode2 --driver default --device /dev/lirc0

Thanks to Ingo on stackoverflow for the hint.
