Mini PowerPoint Remote: Build on 3/4" x 1" Board?

  • Thread starter Priesthood
  • Start date
In summary, the speaker wants to build a mini wireless PowerPoint remote with two buttons and a receiver that is a wireless USB. They are not familiar with the design process and plan to hire a consultant, but want to try building it themselves first. They are looking for any information or jokes about their lack of electrical knowledge. The recommended solution is to check out WUSB kits from Cypress Semiconductor.

I'd like to attempt to build a mini wireless PowerPoint remote that simply moves back and forth through slides...that's it...two buttons. I'm trying to see if I can fit the entire design on a board no larger than 3/4" x 1"...is this possible? Also, the receiver would need to be a wireless USB. I'm not very familiar with how any of this might work and plan to pay a consultant to design (or attempt to design) this for me, but I thought I'd like to take a stab at it myself first! Why not...so any kind of info, even if its a joke at my lack of electrical knowledge is appreciated. Cheers!

Check out the WUSB kits from Cypress Semiconductor. They should fit your requirements pretty well. :smile:
