cmpxchgwonder if there will ever be a new phone-platform that provides FM-radio and infrared, on a self-hosting linux system10:13
sixwheeledbeastIR transceiver on this keyboard plate would be nice, in fact if they just commited to getting as close to N900 features on the this keyboard I could see it being relatively popular option.10:18

cmpxchginfrared is nice to control TV and lighting remotes14:21
cmpxchgor to exchange businesscards with very specific other IR users14:21
cmpxchg'special IR hanshake' :)14:22
MaxdamantusI have used IR occasionally to control a flatmate's TV which doesn't have a remote.14:23
Maxdamantusand I think my own TV/monitor when I've realised my remote's batteries are flat (I only use the remote rarely since I normally use it as a computer monitor, but will sometimes switch to component to use it as a PS2 display)14:26
*** mp107 has quit IRC15:09
sixwheeledbeastI use the IR and FM15:19
sixwheeledbeastFM in friends cars to listen to music and IR for random TV's. Ever been into a TV showroom and switched all the TV's off... :whistle:15:20

sunshaviI have never used infrared. Could I open my garage door?. Is it python|C?18:22
sunshaviI used infraded with Palm on the past. But It was an app. like a remote control (And You neeed to be very near to the tv, less than a meter)18:24
sicelon900 IR cannot exchange business cards since it's uni-directional18:26
bencohinfrared on n900 can come in handy once in a while18:26
bencoh(although I even forgot about it tbh)18:26
siceloi also have used it for some time are a remote :)18:27
bencohsunshavi: you can have a look at pierogi if you want an example18:27
bencohthere is another popular application, but I forgot its name18:27
cmpxchgsunshavi: infrared is typically a UART-like signal from a software point of view18:38
cmpxchgthere once was a IR mode of the wifi spec, but that has long been abandonned18:38
cmpxchgRC-5 is used for remotes, and not really standard UART https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC-518:40
sunshavibencoh: cmpxchg: thanks18:44

sixwheeledbeastpierogi is coded more from the UX whereas LIRC types are more open to whatever you want23:57
sixwheeledbeastIf it's not in Pierogi you would have to see if the devs still about or add it yourself.23:57
