Since everybody seems to be wondering the same thing but nobody has really provided a comprehensive answer, I'll try the direct approach: What options, if any, exist for those of us that don't have any serial ports? |

Do you have a parallel port available? If homebrew equipment can be considered, the lirc_parallel design worked very well for me. See http://www.lirc.org/parallel.html It's a slightly more complex circuit to build than the serial one, and has two onboard oscillators (65kHz, 38kHz) that need to be tuned. I ran out of parallel ports before serials and switched to the latter, but both seems to perform about the same. USB-attached serial interfaces are unlikely to work given lirc's low-level bit twiddling. -- Jordan. |
