I am trying to solve a problem of having wires going up to an MP3 player to the earpiece. I also didn't want the weight of batteries, e.g. via a Bluetooth or other wireless head set. I did an experiment where I used conductive paint to mark out some tracks on my skin to replace wires. The conductive paint is very flexible (I put it on my hand which flexed a lot ) and there seemed to be enou...

I am looking at developing an accessory for the Palm PDAs and I realized that the most common interface on all the different models is the IR port. The serial port was dropped in favor of USB on the newer units and the older units don't have USB. Only a few models have bluetooth. But they all have IR, right? This is not a mass market accessory I need, but rather something that will appe...

A friend has asked me for help with an idea he has which requires a simple RF link to control a 12 volt circuit. One end of the link would need an MCU to collect the inputs and make a decision about the state of the 12 volt circuit. The RF link is used to control the 12 volt circuit. The MCU end would be battery powered and so needs to be low energy. It is only on with a very low dut...
