1. A printed circuit board for a wireless foot pedal control system comprising:
a substrate for mounting a plurality of electronic components, the electronic components comprising:
a programmable controller comprising a memory for storing software and data;a radio frequency transceiver configured for wireless communications with at least one remote wireless device;an accelerometer for generating an electronic wake-up signal to the programmable controller; andan antenna mounted on the substrate, the antenna communicatively coupled with the RF transceiver; the electronic components in electronic communication through printed circuit traces on the substrate, to control wireless communications between the foot pedal and the at least one other remote wireless device; and wherein the accelerometer detects if the foot pedal is tilted or upside down and transmits a position signal to the programmable controller and further detects vibration of the foot pedal and transmits a vibration signal; the programmable controller configured to:
permit operation of the foot pedal when the position signal indicates that the foot pedal is in a predetermined position; andinhibit transmission of signals by the foot pedal when the position signal indicates that the foot pedal is not in the predetermined position; and wherein the accelerometer provides a sleep mode such that operating currents are reduced, and upon receipt of a wake-up signal indicative of the transmitted vibration signal from the accelerometer, the programmable controller resumes normal modes of operation.
