Slide Controller v1.0 (Outdated – Not Recommended)

Slide Controller v1.0 is a lightweight, MQTT-powered Python utility designed for remotely controlling PowerPoint presentations. It runs on the host machine and uses PyAutoGUI to simulate keyboard events based on incoming MQTT messages.

This version is built for simplicity and hardcodes the MQTT broker configuration, making it easy to set up but less secure and flexible than future versions.

🔧 Key Features
Hardcoded MQTT broker details (URL, port, username, password).

Subscribes to topic: presentation/controlsystem

Supports the following slide commands:

"next" → Move to next slide (→)

"prev" → Move to previous slide (←)

"start" → Start slideshow from beginning (F5)

"current" → Start from current slide (Shift + F5)

"exit" → Exit slideshow (Esc)

No graphical interface – runs silently in the background.

Designed for simple plug-and-play operation in trusted environments.
