2. How do I know if my board is working? I followed the instructions on the wiki, and there is no /dev/lirc0.

Newer versions of the RaspberryPi Operating systems use lircd (note the d at the end). Follow the instructions on the wiki ~~(www.raspberrypiwiki.com/index.php/Raspberry_Pi_IR_Control_Expansion_Board)~~. There are other links at the bottom of the wiki which might help. Also, this post helped me: https://gist.github.com/prasanthj/c15a5298eb682bde34961c322c95378b

You may also need to search for other tips on the internet which use lirc (lircd); some of these have test programs, which blink the IR Led so you can see it working - to see it working, watch it with your smartphone camera - the phone camera changes IR to violet so you can see it.
