im trying to use the IR from an remote and control my keyboard and mouse
is that even possible
It's not possible, mice and keyboards do not have IR receivers. Also they are input devices. In what way could they be controlled?
Perhaps you could have chosen better words to describe what you would like to do. Do you mean control a laptop or PC with an IR remote? Pressing "1" on the IR remote would be like pressing "1" on the keyboard?
yes basically
is that a possibility ?
Yes that is possible. But you must use the correct kind of Arduino. I suggest an Arduino Pro Micro. Do not confuse Pro Micro with Pro Mini.
thx
It sounds like you want to press keys on the remote, have the Arduino receive the data transmitted by the remote and for it to be converted into keyboard presses or mouse movements to be passed onto the PC that the Arduino is connected to
Is that correct and which Arduino board do you have ?
Neither of them can be used to send keyboard or mouse commands to the PC
is there a way to send them through PYserial and have python controlling the computer ?
You can send the commands to Python on the PC using the Serial interface and have Python control the keyboard and mouse, assuming that Python can control them
ok thanks for the information ill do some more reaserch into python
i am not good at coding
There is a much easier way.
wwith the "Arduino Pro Micro."?
