 + === 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 [[http://​www.lirc.org/​transmitters.html|Serial Port Transmitters]] and [[http://​www.lirc.org/​receivers.html|Serial Port Receivers]] if you really want all the details).
