[alvarinho]

Hello,

i have a USB IR receiver and i would like to pass the IR commands that the receiver receives and put them into text. Can i get something like this with python? maybe you know some library that help me with this

Any help or information would be much appreciated.

It would be helpful if you posted a datasheet/link to the sensor that you are using.

My recommendation would be to use a cheap micro-controller (MSP430) to decode the IR signal (read the pulses). Then take that into and transfer it into the PI via the I2C line or into the USB port (with a good MCU).
