power point controller

[malique]

hi.. i have an idea just for fun...the situation comes from the lecture hall in the university mostly...usually lecturer will take much time changing the slides of the presentation using keyboard or mouse...

so, the idea is to create a remote control (mini keyboard) contains buttons such as forward and backward, F5 (slideshow) and Esc (end slideshow)...the receiver is connected to the usb port of the PC and using radio frequency (range about 50m).

i hope that the idea will have good support from all of u  ;D

Hi malique,

I didn’t know that someone still uses slides at lectures.   The “screen” projectors used today all comes with a remote as far as I have seen. I guess you want a remote that covers a larger area and doesn’t depend on visual contact ?

yeah of course using projector, but the presentation still using computers (connected to the projector) and powerpoint...do u have any idea on the design? it just a transmitter and receiver things.... ;D

Hi malique,

I have done remote gizmos with IR but not RF for PC control, not really my turf! Sorry!
