Welcome to the PS2_remote_to_arduino wiki!

These programs should enable you to get the IR signal of a remote(In this case I decided on the PS2 remote. It has a slick design and should be rather available). I put an IR-Senor on one of my UNO R3 Arduino clones( a cheat sheet will follow). The board sends the hex-code of the button via Serial port to my Python programme. This alone is the base to upgrade any program or problem with remote control. A while loop will constantly check for input, so any key press or Terminal command can be linked to a button.

This project will be expended by better separation of classes, pipelining and even a GUI with the remote layout and so on. The functionality or usefulness is a question for someone else but why try Bluetooth or wifi, if you can go IR. Only Snakes will you!
