TV Remote As A Windows Remote

This project makes use of an arduino uno to decode messages from a RC-5 encoded IR remote and send serial data to the computer. The computer runs a simple python script I wrote to emulate keyboard based on serial input. I used to use this setup for quite some time while watching movies on my PC, only until I setup a media center on my raspberry pi.
The arduino and python codes are on my git hub page linked below
