Adafruit pIRkey - a Python Programmable InfraRed USB Adapter

The pIRkey seamlessly integrates an IR remote receiver into any device with a USB port, simulating a standard USB keyboard. Utilizing the ATSAMD21 microcontroller, it decodes IR signals into keypresses, mouse actions, or USB serial output.

Boasting global functionality, it leverages the intuitive infrared protocol, obviating the need for antennas or setups. Unlike its predecessor, the pIRkey is powered by CircuitPython, enabling straightforward customization. Presenting as a USB drive, serial port, and keyboard/mouse combo, it offers flexible remote control applications like triggering software actions, shutting down systems, or managing distant devices.

With example NEC remote code included, adaptability is key—any 38KHz frequency remote is compatible. The pIRkey's user-friendly design ensures endless possibilities for tailored infrared control solutions.
