Hi,
Continuing our short post-lecture discussion of today, regarding how to
connect the IR sensor to a laptop which lacks both RS-232 and Parallel
port (and they call THAT a computer?), here's yet another idea:
* Take +5V from some USB port or PS/2 mouse connector.
* Return the signal via the microphone input (you do have one of those,
don't you?)
Main advantage: Does not require any special kernel support. The signal
comes in as sound samples.
And I suppose it can be done with the IR sensor and two resistors,
except for connectors and wires.
Oh, well. They thought about that before me...
