By using special coding it's possible to use a cheap IR LED and IR receiver as used in remote controls to make a simple infrared link between Arduinos using the built in serial port.
The problem with RS232 is that it contains a DC component. By restricting the character set such that the DC component is eliminated, it's possible to send and receive data using a commodity remote control IR receiver. A Python program is used to identify the required codes and schematics are provided showing the LED modulator and IR receiver hookup.

Features

Uses cheap commodity IR receiver and IR LED.
Use of built in serial port requires minimal CPU support for communication.
Hardware is extremely simple.

ShiftRC
ShiftRC is a opensource design for a very cheap, small and simplistic rc driver/rc statemashine. mimics Nikola Tesla's boat it uses a shift chip with multiple outputs and one input for the radio or IR signal. This project is something I wanted to do for a while to make cheap and light...
IRremoteESP8266
Infrared remote library for ESP8266/ESP32. Send and receive infrared signals with multiple protocols. This library enables you to send and receive infra-red signals on an ESP8266 or an ESP32 using the Arduino framework using common 940nm IR LEDs and common IR receiver modules. e.g....
The Lantern Project
The lantern project is an ESP-based addressable RGB LED strip controller. It consists of two ESPs. ESP32 serves as a remote, and ESP8266 is the receiver that drives the addressable RGB LED strip. The Lantern project offers its users 32 different modes, 14 lock screens, and a basic level of...
IRremote Arduino Library
This library enables you to send and receive using infra-red signals on an Arduino. You can use any pin for sending now like you are used to receiving. Simultaneous sending and receiving. See the SendAndReceive example. No more need to use 32-bit hex values in your code. Instead, a (8 bit)...
