i've had an idea... bluetooth wireless remote

[skurk]

Well.... plausibe, but it would take a lot of money and effort to pull it through.  Maybe it would be easier to have one mini SBC on each side that take care of interfacing the joysticks/interfaces and the bluetooth communication.  Easier, and probably cheaper, too.

We should have a "post your ideas here" thread where we could do some creative brainstorming on ideas.  Most are good and maybe even impossible to pull through, but still, it would be food for thought and could spawn other ideas.   I have a couple, but I'm not going to hijack yet another thread.

SBC = Single Board Computer



Imagine a PicoITX (like above) running a minimal Linux distro.  The Amiga peripherals could be interfaced using USB.  Bluetooth USB dongles are already very cheap.

Would still require a lot of work, but at least you have 90% of the electronics working.  The Amiga peripherals interfacing shouldn't be too difficult (USB with PIC18F2550 or similar)

Of course there are simpler ways to communicate.  To my defense, he asked for bluetooth, so I stuck with that...
