I don’t need something practical. I just need something fun to keep me motivated.

    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
