The usb device would start up listening on a Wifi connection (Well it could be any sort of connection including bluetooth). When it recieves a tcp packet from a computer, according to the packet recieved, it will simulate a mouse button press or mouse movement (This will be up to what was sent through the tcp packet).
I have no knowledge of soldering and never done it before, but I know C++, Python and even AMD64 and also MIPS assembly. So programming wise, i'm not afraid to have something chucked at me. Hardware wise, i'm freaked out in soldering.
I think this product will do what i want to do, but I need to know if it is "ready" out of the box (apart from my code) and no soldering would be required:
The tutorials i would make it work for are:
and also one that would write mouse button clicks.
I don't think the YUN can easily emulate a USB mouse. I would use an Arduino Leonardo with an Arduino WiFi shield. That should be all the hardware you need and no soldering would be needed.
I don't tried it jet but normally you can simulate an USB-device easily with arduino Leonardo.
Setting up an Web-Server also works on Arduino UNO too. But to listen to packages over Wi-Fi can be made without setting up an complete web server.
Ok, so Few questions (Sorry, i'm a noob at all of this)
a) Can I buy a Wifly shield with male headers already soldered into it?
b) If the headers are already soldered into the Wifly module, do i need to do any more soldering to "plug" the headers into the Arduino (like a uno one). Or do the header pins just "slide" into the black slots on the arduino board?
