Re: IRDA to Serial on handheld



Hi All,

I am open with my choice of OS. Whichever OS supports best and easiest
implimentation would be fine. Symbian, windows mobile, pocket PC, palm
OS.

Its bytes which I want to transmitt at 9600 Baud Rate and want my
Controller's UART to receive these in bytes form.

Thanks,
Rohan

Rohan,

More details would probably help here.  What phone, what OS, etc.

I know that Palm phones had pretty good IR support.  IIRC, Serial
Manager API and the IR Library were the way to get access to it.

More than just irda is supported on the Palms.... I remember remote
control (ie tv, stereo, vcr etc) applications, and so on.  You can do
RAW IR.

I was googling around and found this neat tidbit

I've almost completely forgot about programming those little palms.
Really neat stuff.  CodeWarrior. Right. That was fun.

For fast rapid development,http://www.nsbasic.com/palm/was really good
too.

ahh well, I digress.
