RE: TI-H: IR LINK
There are a few things that we have to realize aout the $4 link itself. While it does not combine the two data lines or run any magic like that, it does send its data across the in a slightly hacked way. Not to say that the $4 link doesn't work, but it doesn't comply to ANYTHING in RS232. But since the PC deals with a UART, what the calc sends is not what the PC "sees." Therefore, just because it looks wrong, doesn't mean it is. All that it means is that there's a creative way of outputting the clock and data through the system. perhaps what is really going on is that the MAX223 is re-converting the data, which across the transciever box should be totally incomprehensible to anything.
Of course, if I make sense here, let me know. I'm not 100% coherent right now.

All right.. Gregory. You *are* the messiah for completing the IR link.. but
i think alot of us are dangling about the specifics...
How much?
Where do you put the 4$ link into?
Which 4$ link?
How big?
What's the range?
How difficult is it to construct?
What are the part numbers?
Where is the updated schematic? What does everything on it mean?
??
Gregory - if you could, i hope that you could respond to all these points ia
a general letter..
it might help the rest of us out.
=)
THANKS!
