Hi There!
I'd like to constuct some sort of visual aid for my deaf co-worker to let him know that we'd like to get his attention. My initial thoughts were to take a wireless doorbell transmitter and hook it up to some sort of LED or light receiver. Ideally, I'd like to construct it so 4-5 different people can "page" our deaf friend. I envision him having some sort of panel with 5 LED's (each with the name of one of the other co-workers), and the co-workers would have transmitters, each operating on a frequency that was specific to their labelled name on our deaf friend's panel.
Admittedly, I know practically nothing about how to go about achieving this, but I was hoping that you gurus could give me some hints, or point me in the right direction.
I was thinking "wireless dorbell" because of the "wireless" action, and the convenience of a relatively small "button"-type transmitter.
I'm still unsure about what to use for the visual panel.
All ideas would be greatly appreciated.
btw, maximum range would be about 35 feet.
Thanks,
-steve
