Hi,
I am looking to achieve serial communication using IRDA on my phone.
I have devices with 8 bit controllers from which i have to get data. On these devices i have implemented IR. Now I want a mobile phone to be able to download data from them.
Suggestions? I don't know how to open a comm port on any mobile phone to achieve serial communication.
I cannot use IRDA protocols to communicate.
Thanks, Rohan
Rohan,
More details would probably help here. What phone, what OS, etc.
I know that Palm phones had pretty good IR support. IIRC, Serial Manager API and the IR Library were the way to get access to it.
More than just irda is supported on the Palms.... I remember remote control (ie tv, stereo, vcr etc) applications, and so on. You can do RAW IR.
I was googling around and found this neat tidbit
I've almost completely forgot about programming those little palms. Really neat stuff. CodeWarrior. Right. That was fun.
For fast rapid development,
ahh well, I digress.

Hi All,
I am open with my choice of OS. Whichever OS supports best and easiest implimentation would be fine. Symbian, windows mobile, pocket PC, palm OS.
Its bytes which I want to transmitt at 9600 Baud Rate and want my Controller's UART to receive these in bytes form.
Thanks, Rohan
