Hi guys. I have tried to read up on what i need to build this thing but now im stuck. I want to built a simple remote presenter, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireles … B002GHBUTK.
My idea is that it remote is a handheld device with a single momentary button that have several functions depending on how it is pressed (single click, double click, hold, etc), battery powered, no dongles because any modern machine have bluetooth connectivity. This is what i think i need:
-
Bluetooth thingy: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12582
-
A small arduino board: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMicro
-
a button: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9190
-
some way to power this thing with a battery.
-
a handheld, snug, chassis that fits the entire rig
There are several things i do not understand about this yet but here is what i imagine it will work: I press a button, the arduino makes magic, sends the correct signale to the bluetooth transceiver which in turn sends the correct keyboard command to my mac which makes keynote/powerpoint happy.
Am I on the right track or do i need to rethink this?
