IR-tiny is a tiny serial receiver that does a bit more than classic serial port receivers do. It performs the measurements in a micro controller instead of PC. It is a lot like IRMan or IRToy are. Its design was influenced a lot by capabilities of ATTiny4 micro controller - 512B flash, 32B RAM, 1 timer. This allows only one way communication, fixed baud rate, and time measurements in units of 115200bps bit time.
Unlike classic serial receivers, IR-tiny can be used with USB serial converters, and time measurements don't get distorted when PC has high load.
