I've been lurking and learning for the last couple of weeks. Is it possible
to make an application that does not set up a 2-way link, that still sends
the data one way. The simplified scenarios are:
1. Case 1: Data from PC to Palm. PC with serial port controlled infrared
transmitter, Palm with serial connection to an infrared to RS-232 converter.
(not the built-in IRDA interface on my Palm III)
2. Case 2: Data from Palm to PC. Palm with serial connection to infrared
blaster (not the built-in IRDA interface), with a special IR to RS-232
converter on the PC.
The infrared link is just an example for this question. It could be
replaced by and RF (one way only) link, or even just a 2-wire RS-232 (either
transmit only, or receive only) physical connection. The question I am
trying to answer is: Can the provided development tools support a strictly
one-way (no handshaking) data transfer? Can this transfer happen to go both
ways (using 2 separate configurations)? I don't want to sound like I'm
repeating myself repeating myself, but answers I've gotten from others
ignored startup handshaking before the data transfer.
