There was a request to build a DIY wireless remote lucky draw push button (100m distant apart) for the VIP guest to press and activate the random draw for a company lucky draw event.<\/p>\n

My solution is to use the wireless cheap door receiver and interface to the PC mouse left button.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When the wireless remote button is pressed, the wireless door bell receiver will acts like mouse and send a left mouse trigger to the PC.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Software<\/span><\/p>\n

I wrote a simple lucky draw application using MS Office Powerpoint. It\u00a0will start the lucky draw random counter via the build-in left-click trigger event in Powerpoint.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hardware<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An old mouse to use for left button click event for the lucky draw application.
    \n\"Wired<\/li>\n
  2. One\u00a0S$2 big LED push light to use as the big push button.
    \n\"LED<\/li>\n
  3. Get a simple\u00a0wireless door bell\/receiver set\u00a0(at S$7.90) to act as the wireless link between the big push button and the old mouse.

  4. Keep the door bell and mouse in a box (a S$2 Tool Box).
