OK, so now we can send and recieve sony IR transmissions. This is so totally
cool I just can't believe it.
But you know what would make it at least 10E23 times better? If I could
re-direct IC so as to not use the serial port, but to use the IR port instead.
Why? Because everytime I remove or connect the phone cable into my HB while IC
is running, it crashes the board. So I have to restart the board a whole lot.
Every time I test my program, I need to remove the serial cable. Then, after
I've finished seeing if the latest tweak (or frob) has worked, I have to
re-connect the serial cable and re-start the HB. No fun.
But if it were all via IR? Now that would be slick. Wouldn't it be pretty
trivial to re-compile the pcode such that cout and cin (or whatever they're
called) use the IR routines we now have instead of the serial port?

| a wireless serial link requires surgery to IC. the HB side woudn't be bad. on the ic side you'd have to plug into the board comms routines (probably most are stashed away in a single library) and substitute your own code that deal with transmission (...)
