Cordless Mouse and Keyboard
Craig Hill
Abstract:
The ever growing number of peripherals
computers possess has led to the unprecedented clutter of cabling upon the
desktop. This thesis aims to reduce the number of cables by way of the
design and implementation of a cordless mouse and keyboard.
The thesis spans two major areas - hardware and software interfacing, and
wireless communications. Hardware and software interfacing is required as
both devices communicate using different electrical characteristics and
protocols.
Unidirectional infrared communications are utilized to minimize cost so the
device appears more attractive to younger generations.
The system is therefore a good start for a low cost cordless mouse and
keyboard. Design provisions have been made so future upgrades to radio
frequency transmission is readily available.
