i have in IR receiver and an arduino micro controler , i want to control my pc for example the mouse using the eventghost , i sent the commands from my remote into the IR receiver and using the arduino im putting it to the serial port , but i have no idea how can i take the input from the serial port and controling the pc using the eventghost , im new to this tool if anyone could help me , thank you

Re: how can i control my pc from IR and arduino
I've played around with this a bit, but only a bit. The "Serial Port" plug-in would be your best start (configure it to the same serial port that your Arduino is connected to). Then you should be on the right track to Send/Receive serial commands via your Arduino (with the assumption you already have some knowledge in Sending/Receiving commands via serial).
Just a heads up. When I was playing with this, I noticed that the Arduino Software (Designing Sketches, Monitor, Etc) Causes conflicts when running along side EventGhost. If you need to modify your sketch or use the Serial Monitor included in the Arduino Software, I recommend closing EventGhost while doing so.
I hope some of this helps!
