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.
