Project description:
The main thing I want to do in this bit is build a data communication system from a Palm to a PIC using IRDA (Infra Red). At first I was going to use just raw IR transmission with no protocol, so all the error correction would have to be taken care of by the software -no real problem there- but I found out than the newer Palm’s don’t support raw IR mode, apparently they are hard wired that way, the other option was to use the IRcomm protocol, it acts like a virtual serial port -you send ‘a’ in you get ‘a’ out.

Electronics used:
Palm Pilot

Link: Palm & PIC bidirectional IR communication
