Hi, I just wanted to know if there is some kind of infrared transmitter solution for Amigas that use the serial port. I have seen Infrarexx, but it uses the joyport.
Is there some serial, or even parallel IR transmitter device with some support driver/software?

Thanks


What exactly is your project that requires IR transmission specifically ?

You can build a simple remote serial link if you want using IR if your goal is to have a wireless transparent serial port or something like that..  ie using MAX232 chip with some simple IR/other Components too..  you can even add in a cheap premade bluetooth module and do it via that.. but really need to know your full purpose.

On Aminet theres only IR software that mentions joyport solutions.

You will have to check the software to see if you can use a different port like the parallel or serial port.  if it does support parallel port then you can play around with a parallel joyport adapter if they work..  if that fails then probably best to make a custom made solution using the parallel por serial port  since the circuitry is pretty easy just understanding the IR codes and presenting them would be the challenge done via software..

This might be a fun little item.

I keep meaning to add Bluetooth serial internally on my TRS-80 Model 100...


This is pretty cool for adding Bluetooth to TTL circuitry or rs232 driver..

Very cheap package,  I modded my custom made car computer OBD-1 serial adapter to stream serial data over bluetooth :)
