| CatButts | the pinacle of humour | 13:53 |
| CatButts | hmmm, it hit me | 17:39 |
| CatButts | nokia N900 has IrDA | 17:39 |
| CatButts | how flexible is it? | 17:39 |
| CatButts | https://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=28.%20pokewalker | 17:40 |
| KotCzarny | google 'pierogi n900' | 17:41 |
| CatButts | here, he talks about how, for lack of an IrDA port, he uses his trusty PalmOS device to communicate with the pokewalker device he wants to hack | 17:41 |
| CatButts | so, pierogi is more like a remote control | 17:45 |
| CatButts | pokewalker case is more like a serial connection, send and receive | 17:45 |
| sixwheeledbeast | pierogi is hardcoded button sets so will only support devices in it's list. there are other IR things in the repo | 17:47 |
| sicelo | CatButts: the N900 doesn't do IrDA, but CIR. In short, it can only send but not receive. Thus, cannot be used for that kind of communication. | 18:42 |
| CatButts | ah, bummer | 18:42 |
| CatButts | I have a fancy IrDA with 3.5 inch plug and 4 rings | 18:42 |
| CatButts | but I don't know where to shove it | 18:42 |
| CatButts | I'm guessing it's something like, power, send, receive, gnd | 18:44 |
| CatButts | it has a tiny PCB at the end of its cable | 18:44 |
| sixwheeledbeast | You could in thoery have a USB IR Rx | 19:00 |
| CatButts | hmmmm | 19:13 |
| CatButts | you're onto something here | 19:14 |
| sunshavi | I have my compaq n600c that has ir inside | 19:16 |
| CatButts | would it need to have a fancy IC on the PCB to drive the IR send/recv pair? | 19:16 |
| CatButts | from USB? | 19:17 |
| sunshavi | I would need to turn the machine on: But when i do 'ip addr show'. It shows me irqda0 or something like that | 19:18 |
| CatButts | I opened up my IR thing | 19:20 |
| CatButts | there is no fancy IC in it, just a few regular surface mount parts | 19:20 |
| CatButts | which makes me think it's not USB | 19:20 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Still you have all the code side to get working, even if you found a compatible USB IR device | 19:22 |
| CatButts | if it were usb-ir it would be detected as such on PC | 19:23 |
| sunshavi | I have irda0 | 19:23 |
