Version 1.0.1 - Windows

Requirements:

• IR receiver connected to the Digital Pin 2 of the Arduino (if you want to change, just modify the receiver.ino accordingly)
• Arduino flashed with this sketch

If something doesn't work, check if you get output data out of the serial connection (use the Arduino's IDE Serial Monitor) before opening an issue.

DON'T FORGET TO CLOSE ANY SERIAL MONITOR OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT LOCK THE PORT BEFORE INSTALLING THE SERVICE!

I'm going to do a full write-up on how to get this working sometime soon: from the parts you need to the customization (including the schematics and wiring needed).

Version 1.0.1 - macOS

Requirements:

• IR receiver connected to the Digital Pin 2 of the Arduino (if you want to change, just modify the receiver.ino accordingly)
• Arduino flashed with this sketch

If using an Arduino clone, make sure to install its respective driver. I'm using an Arduino Nano v3 clone with the CH340 chip, so I needed the CH340 drivers.

If something doesn't work, check if you get output data out of the serial connection (use the Arduino's IDE Serial Monitor) before opening an issue.

Version 1.0.0

This version requires some specific hardware + software setup to work, as important configuration options are hardcoded for now.

• Arduino Nano v3 clone with the CH340 chip
• CH340 drivers for macOS properly installed (grab the latest version from here)
• IR receiver connected to the Digital Pin 2 of the Arduino
• Arduino flashed with this sketch
• A bit of luck

Put everything together and only install the background service after you get output data of the serial connection (use the Arduino's IDE Serial Monitor).

Even if you follow all the listed steps, things might not work at the moment, because I still need to tweek lots of things to make this more customizable.
