Posting Etiquette

Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.
Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.
Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.
Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

That reminds me I should finish that IR remote to USB keyboard translator I started... (I wonder if i can use the arrows on the remote to control the mouse pointer too...)

My AHEK-95 keyboard has an IR receiver and I programmed it with a cheap $0.50 remote. I only set it up to send the play/pause, next/prev, and volume control but in theory I could make it work with a huge universal remote to do whatever I want.

There's a demonstration of it working to send some numbers here: https://youtu.be/iv6Rh8UNWlI
