I've seen many people attempt this, but none who have succeeded.  (but
I won't say it's not possible)

Hi,
I can't find my lego mindstorm IR tower and I was thinking if it is possible
to hack a generic IR dongle (
http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=U1-FIR-IRDA&cats=139&catid=139
) from a computer so that it can communicate with the RCX brick. Is that
possible? How do I do this?
Thanks

(...) IrDA works quite differently from what the RCX is capable of understanding normally under usual firmware. I don't think that you can change the dongle reactions, since on the physical layer it will work according to the IrDA specifications. (...) (16 years ago, 7-Feb-09, to lugnet.robotics)
