That is the site I used when I built my serial receiver. The instructions are
very detailed and easy to follow. I substituted a 3/32" stereo sub-mini jack
instead of the IR receiver and used my PVR-250 IR receiver. I could not tell
the difference between the sensitivity of the receiver when connected to the
PVR-250 vs. the serial dongle, with the exception that the PVR-250 only
decodes RC-5 codes and the when connected to the dongle you can decode any IR
codes the receiver can read (36-38 MHz?).
HTH!
