Substituing an infrared receiver for a serial port - 17/12/2004 20:17
Ok another hairbrained electronics question-
Would it be theoritically possible to take an infrared receiver off a certain circuit and in it's place put a TTL serial port (which only the receive line connected)?
The reason I'm asking is because I have this spare satellite receiver lying around and it might be cool to not have to use a IR blaster to use it with a homebrew PVR setup. It also might make channel changes faster..
