| | | I realize that the signal sent is 38 kHz at 2400 baud but isn't that set by the serial port? Robert Eddings (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | Robert, I hope an electronics person tells me I'm wrong, because this is where I'm stuck too. The serial port sets 2400 baud. But my understanding is that we have to get the Palm to generate a 38kHz signal. That is, pulse the IR led on/off at 38kHz. (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | IrDA turns 'on' the IR for every 0 bit and holds it upfor ~ 1/2 of the period of the transmission frequency.(more on (URL) For these reasons its better to set the IrDA transmission frequency to 2x38kHz=76kHz and send 0x55 or other similar (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | Thanks a lot, Reimer, for answering the Ir question. This gives a starting point for more playing around with the Ir. If only my palm had IR--maybe for Xmas. Really clever idea for creating the 38kHz carrier. Mike Reimer Mellin <davmel@primenet.com> (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
