i have a wacom bamboo fun tablet that i use for my mouse and i want to add macro buttons to it where the thumb rests and im trying to figure out the cheapest way to wirelessly communicate an adruino with the pc to do this.
so any suggestions would be appreciated.
First question that comes to mind is exactly what the Arduino is doing in this picture. Is the tablet connected to the Arduino? What exactly is this mouse doing with/for the Arduino?
the arduino will only be used for extra keys im going to add like the picture.
the 12 keys one side.
but it will only connect to pc not the tablet
the i just need to figure out cheapest way to wirelessly connect it with the pc
One fairly cheap approach would be to attach a Teensy to the USB port as an HID device, and use one of those cheap Chinese 433MHz radios from ebay to send button pushes to it.
Most modern OSes (even including XP XD) will merge the inputs from multiple keyboards, mice, and similar devices to feed to their GUIs, so the fact that it would be a separate device probably wouldn't matter.
so would the cheapest solution be 2 atmega boards(one with usb) and a cheap 433 mhz tx and rx?
