| Martin is right, the Handspring Visor uses a different connector than the Palm devices, and so they are not directly compatible cable-wise. You can get TTL level serial comms out of the Visor by hacking the USB cable they sell. Split open the (...) (25 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

The guy who does OmniRemote is a friend of mine (I had the springboard module before they were on the market, nyah nyah) :) and it was extremely non-trivial for him to support the IR, and it continues to be non-trivial to support (...)

| (...) So is mine, but you can't plug serial devices in because of the different connector. If you want to control the serial tower with it, you should just get a used palm pro. If you want to ALSO use the IR on the palm, get a used palm pro with the (...) (25 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| I think you're exactly correct John. There has to be very low level control of the port. The trick, I suspect, is that the control may not lie within the Palm SDK (which I suspect fully supports only IrDA), but rather with machine coding of the (...) (25 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| Something doesn't make sense to me here ..... IF someone sells a piece of software which allows the Palm to learn and speak "arbitrary remotese", then there has to be low level software control over the port. Doesn't that mean that who ever knows (...) (25 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
