Controlling my laptop with IR Remote control - Software Description and Demo

This video demonstrates my latest project - IR Remote for lappy. Sorry for bad webcam quality, that's all I got here.

I always wanted to control my laptop with a remote. Thanks to Arduino, I can do it right now.

The entire working is like this, Arduino processes the IR Remote commands and sends the data to my lappy serially. The Java Program (which I developed) residing on system takes the commands from Arduino and based on assigned key-bindings, presses the keys.

The software was developed in Java using NetBeans.

I've used Arduino IR Library from - http://www.arcfn.com/2009/08/multi-protocol-infrared-remote-library.html

If I get a good cam, I will surely upload another video regarding the hardware section.

Do comment, If you have any queries...
