Hello fellow Elecrafters: Here’s an idea that I've been thinking about for a while, but don't have the technical expertise to implement.
I would like to build a wireless paddle. I've noticed that Microsoft and Compaq have both recently come out with small wireless mice for laptops. They cost $25. The receivers plug into the laptops via a USB port. Does anyone have any idea how one could build a circuit with cannibalized parts from one of these assemblies to use the left and right mouse buttons for the paddle, and interface the USB receiver for keying? I opened up a Logitech desktop wireless mouse, but the parts were all over the place, and it was pretty large. Of course, the smaller the better for both the transmitter and receiver. Sounds like a great SMD project. Any interest Tom? Also, how about something like a Bluetooth connected headset? You can have two versions, earphones only for the K1, KX1, and microphone for the K2. Just some ideas that I’m throwing out for minds greater than mine. Thanks, Paul Rubin N8NOV Houston Texas K1, K2, KX1, and anything else that Elecraft ever decides to make. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
