Accessing the infrared (ir) port on the Zoomer.
Q. How can I code for the infrared port on the Zoomer? A. The serial API controls both the physical RS-232C and the IR. You can select which method of communication to use by selecting the com port as follows: Com1 = Serial RS-232C port Com2 = Short Range IR (18 inches) Com3 = Long Range IR (36 inches) Com4 = PCMCIA serial device Note that the long range IR (Com3) uses a *lot* of power while the com port is open, so it is best to send out the data in a burst, then shut down the port.
