I just looked at it through a video camera which : is very sensitive to IR, and I saw nothing while typing characters. At any speed above 2400 baud, I dodbt that you'd actually see the characters transmitted. The on time is very very short (on the order of < 1mS). : It also received nothing when I beamed my pilot or digital camera at : it. I suspect it needs some initialization, but haven't had much : time to wade through the specs (I think it uses the SMC IRCC chip). You won't. The IrDA stuff has the master broadcasting before the slaves will respond. There is a protocol that needs to happen...
