Hi,
This is slightly off topic but I do hope someone could give me
some advice.
I am thinking about using IrDA and/or USB to communicate with
some peripherials possibly runing off PIC. Before I start designing
the hardware I would like to play with IrDA and USB alone.
I have a PC mainboard equipped with IrDA and USB connectors (pin headers).
The problem is that I could not find any info about accessing those
peripherials (BIOS support, I/O addresses, etc). What sort of hardware
is necessary to make an IR link. Would just TX,RX diodes and couple of
resistors do the job?
Thanks for any help
