Abstract

Wired world is transforming to wireless and this transformation generates necessity to innovate and create the wireless means. This paper proposes a wireless adapter to convert the existing wired projector into a wireless projector without major changes to projector hardware. Based on a development of the wireless adapter, a new feature of wireless projection is possible by transferring the information without any physical medium by establishing a wireless network between the transmitter and the receiver. In this project, a development board Raspberry Pi is used as a wireless adapter replacing the existing cable connected to the projector. Its configuration is designed to build a medium between laptop and the projector using a wireless network router to host a wireless network to which the laptop and the raspberry boards are connected. This adapter is designed around a development board Raspberry Pi which hosts Broadcom system on chip BCM2835.
