Feature request: Use built-in IR tx/rx for UART to USB bridge for sigrok / Fluke (and other) meters
The USB-UART bridge is quite useful, but there are many devices that use IR-uart for wireless communication. Most use a ft232 usb-uart chip with IR led / IR rx module directly tied to the TX/RX pins of the 232. Would it be possible to use the Flippers IR port (pa0/pb9) as the source of a serial stream?
A good example would be Fluke multimeters and scopemeters, but there are many. Here's an example of DIY usb-uart IR people make for their Fluke devices:

"Fluke ir diy" should bring up lots of results, like this thread: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/fluke-187-making-an-ir-cable/
Lots of open source software like sigrok support Fluke (and other devices) and work natively with the DIY IR above: http://sigrok.org/gitweb/?p=libsigrok.git;a=tree;f=src/hardware/fluke-dmm
I do not know enough if it would be as simple as rewriting the dropdown menu to read from PA9/PB9 instead of the external GPIO port on the flipper to directly interface with the IR tx/rx module?
