can it be connected via usb?
Please tell me.

mobile. Really a good and cheap IrDA circuit.
GR8.

Can we connect it via USB port? please update me.

USB uses four wires: +5volts, Gnd, TX, RX. So in theory if I connect up the right cables, it will work (no drivers though)?

and the spots that you are suppose to connect it to.. i found them on a realy old sound card of mine..would it work the same?

Why do you have to go and add negative comments? 1$ project is just a figure of speech. Do you really have so much time on your hands that you go looking for things to complain about?

IMO, just go pick up a usb irda for about $16. This is NOT a $1 project.

I’ve measured it through, all the parts are ok & I’m getting the correct voltage on all the connectors, bios settings are correct too.

I did cut the following corners;
- used 1/2W resistors (shouldn’t matter?)
- didn’t have any 15k reistors so used a 10k & a 4k7 (shouldn’t matter either?)

I’m also using a phototransistor instead of a photodiode. Could that be the problem? The LED in the pic looks like one aswell though.
Any help?
