| IrDA does not use a carrier wave, whereas CIR (Consumer IR) does. Communication between the two is possible by "building" an IrDA data stream that mimicks CIR carrier wave. IrDA can read CIR by oversampling the IR to determine carrier frequency and (...) (22 years ago, 15-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| I'm reasonably sure adjusting the IR carrier wave frequency would require hardware modifications. The baud rate can be adjusted.

I'm pretty sure any learning remote could do the same thing because they all talk CCIR protocol. (...) However, it's one thing to make an IrDA (...) (22 years ago, 15-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics)
