RE: Wireless IR Keyboards

["Julian Stuhler" <julian.stuhler@xxxxxxx>]

Folks,

Can't remember what the formal terms are, but remember that Bluetooth
devices fall into two power bands. From memory, the low power devices
(such as iPAQs and mobile phones ) are supposed to have a 10m range
under ideal conditions, while the high power devices can go to 100m.
Maybe the keyboard is of the high-power variety?

regards,

Julian

My lounge is directly under the study (where Node 0 is), so there's no
problems there.  I can use it intermittently from my garage (about 20
mtrs
away, through 2 brick walls OK (or maybe 1 brick wall and a window), so
I
guess that's its limit.  I could walk down the street to see how far I'd
get, but the men in white coats might get me first....

What sort of distance can you get Peter? I find my 6310i and iPAQ don't
give
me a massive range.

Or you could try the Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard/mouse - it works fine
through my ceiling and pretty much anywhere in the house or garden.

But I haven't tried using an IR keyboard and mouse over IR dist :-( I
use a
radio wireless keyb and mouse - got good range but don't know if it's
good
through walls and floor though (Gyration ultra). If you need to know I
could
test it???
