I want to take one of these . . .
http://www.amazon.com/Educational-Insig ... B000QDUS08
And make it wireless. The switches right now come with a simple 1/8" mono plug which sends the signal. They have a neat little lock out circuit that only allows one person to ring in at a time.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for making this wireless. Hopefully I can scavenge parts to save money. There is already a wireless version of the game that retails for $90 but I would love to be able to do this way cheaper. I've seen some people using the page button off of a cordless phone to do some cheap wireless stuff. I need to get 6 of them going together.
I'm kind of novice but wouldn't mind going with an arduino or microcontroller but I just don't know where to start.
Ideas?
