| | Lego USB Tower and the Linux Driver
|
| An earlier thread [ (URL) ] touched on changing the baud rate of the USB IR tower. Based on what information I have been able to find, it appears that at one time the Lego USB driver for Linux did include the ability to change the baud rate and (...)

| | no long range IR from laptop says Lego
|
| Does the Lego USB IR tower, when set to long range, sometimes draw more than the 500mA allowed? Or do laptops generally not reliably supply 500mA? Or are we facing some deeper analog issue here, like not ramping up to 500mA from less mA fast enough (...) (22 years ago, 12-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

If your IR tower still functions, and it's just a matter of not having a serial port, the simplest solution would be to just buy an adapter that will allow you to hook up a serial device to a USB port.
