Brainstorming - Teamspeak PTT Bluetooth Device
Gurus of the Tech World,
First off, I'm browsed through a lot of great idea and I've got to say, you all are geniuses. Hopefully, someone can help steer me in the right direction. I have made a few Windows Phone apps, made a few HTML websites and some networking fundamentals, but I've never really made a device... much less soldered a board.
With that said, I want my first project to be a Bluetooth Push-to-Talk (PTT) button for Teamspeak. I have a Bluetooth headset with a microphone for Teamspeak (VOIP PC Application) so I can hear people speaking while being away from the computer but I do not have a way to communicate back using the Push-to-Talk method.
So, what I want to do is make a small Bluetooth device, maybe powered by a 9V, with a single PTT button, and maybe an ON/OFF switch to save power. My thought is to program it so that it send a keystroke to my computer for the duration that the PTT button is pressed (CTRL would be ideal). This is something that I want to make, using as much of my brain as possible and the least amount of prefabricated merchandise ("omg, just buy a bluetooth dongle and plug it into a button. ta-da").
I'm sure that this is something you guru's can do blindfolded, but, please, point me in the right direction... and use baby words.
Thanks!

Look into using an Adruino to emulate the keyboard and a Bluetooth shield. Plenty of similar projects can be found on the Arduino Web site and froums.

Cool, I appreciate it! I'll search for that.
