Hi you all,

I have made a voting system and therefor i use a USB print where i connected http://www.ultimarc.com/ipacve.html 15 buttons to vote. It works graet, but i will make a wireless system. Does anybody know how to make that. Is a Wii remote an option? i saw a lot of experiments on youtube, but maybe there is a better way.

The IPAC site has some info and adapters for Wii --- have you looked at that?

As for 'wireless remote', what do you intend?? There are lots of possibilities for IR (infrared), and quite a few adapters available everywhere --- an IR Receiver plugs into the computer USB (looks pretty much like a Flash drive). Lots of software tools to set-up codes.

RF wireless is another story... applications seem to be more specialized. And I think number of buttons relates to number of channels (unless you're programming what the codes on top of the pulses are/do). You could look into hobby stuff... PIC and BASIC Stamp, also Arduino.

Hi Lar,

I did look at the Wii options on the ultimarc site, but i don't think this is what i need.
Thanks for sending the other links. I will take a look at it right away.

Hi Lar,

I looked at the link you send, but i think my question is too easy.
The devices i find can do too much. What i realy need is a divice that can be assigned for just one keyboard button each.

Let say handheld device 1 must have 1 button when you press that button the assigned letter will show and so on with let say 20 devices to press 20 letters.

How easy can it be...
