I also built a balanced arm for my (non-kindle) reader and wanted a remote page turner. I built one that uses a button and a reed relay to ground a piece of aluminum foil to the readers USB ground to stimulate a finger touch. It works but it's not very pretty. Forgot where I got the idea.
My girlfriend has an Android reader, she can just use one of those tiny Bluetooth gamepads made for phones.
- Johnythree 4y agoThis is brilliant idea, thanks so much!
- vocram 4y agoDo you please mind giving some info on how to build a balanced arm?
- shellfishgene 4y agoI built it on the principle of those balanced desk lamps (for example google 'Ikea Tertial'). I used wood instead of metal and elastic rope instead of the springs. The joints I 3d printed. You have to adjust the spring/elastic tension to fit with the weight at the end.
- ajolly 4y agoDo you have suggestions on how to use one of those Bluetooth game pads to scroll the screen and not just turn pages?
- shellfishgene 4y agoNo, no idea. Try to google what "keys" those gamepads actually send?
