Ooh, nice finds. I may attempt this kooky IR adapter. (Hopefully that project won't induce grief....)
It will take a month for the parts to come off the slow boat from China. I might be able to do the software on a different board I have on-hand. I'll probably post the results on my hackaday.io....
OK, I did create a project page, if anyone has any curiousity https://hackaday.io/project/25616 . Parts will still take about a month, so it would probably be end-of-July-ish before it's truly done (if it works, but I'm pretty sure it will). I expect the parts to total about USD$30, and obviously it will be very homemade looking (i.e., I'm not going to bother with making a case for it), but someone else might find it fun to put together themselves. (No I'm not going into the printer biz).
