Wired to Wireless!

Have you ever found yourself in the midst of a technological dilemma, yearning for a solution that could seamlessly transform your trusted wired devices—such as keyboards and headphones—into their wireless counterparts, all without the hefty price tag? It’s a common conundrum, especially when there’s a dearth of wireless alternatives for those cherished accessories, like your beloved custom keyboard. Despite the plethora of Bluetooth adapters available for various conversions, it’s baffling that there isn’t a single device capable of serving as both a transmitter and a USB power provider simultaneously.

While there was a glimmer of hope with one Kickstarter campaign attempting to tackle this challenge, unfortunately, it faltered, leaving backers in the lurch as the project creators seemingly vanished into thin air. Yet, amidst this setback, there’s a ray of optimism with another crowdfunding initiative currently underway, hinting at a potential solution on the horizon. However, beyond these grassroots efforts, the commercial market remains devoid of a comprehensive fix for this ubiquitous issue.

Undeterred by the lack of ready-made solutions, I embarked on a journey of exploration, scouring the realms of electronic components in search of a remedy. My quest led me to discover a promising candidate: a board from Handheld Scientific engineered to bridge the gap between wired and wireless technologies. However, as is often the case, this solution required an external power source to function optimally.

Eager to bridge this gap, I ventured forth into the digital marketplace, procuring a compact 5000mAh power bank from the vast aisles of Amazon, along with a selection of complementary accessories. Armed with these components and a dash of ingenuity, I swiftly pieced together a makeshift solution that exceeded my expectations in performance and reliability.

For those intrigued by the prospect of liberating their devices with Bluetooth connectivity while retaining their functionality and fiscal prudence, fear not! I’ve meticulously chronicled the assembly process in a comprehensive video tutorial, providing step-by-step guidance for replicating this feat. Additionally, for those keen on embarking on their own DIY adventure, I’ve thoughtfully included links to the requisite components, ensuring a smooth and seamless journey toward wireless liberation.

Let’s embark on this transformative journey together, empowering our devices with the freedom of wireless connectivity, all while staying true to our budgetary constraints and DIY spirit.
