FAQ
Will your device work with a USB->Serial Adapter?
No. It will not. Our serial device does not talk RS232, as required by USB→Serial adapters, and doesn't even use the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) pins, but the DCD and DTR lines. Why? That's the standard for the LIRC serial devices (see Serial Port Transmitters and Serial Port Receivers if you really want all the details).
