Hello, I am not an electrician or even well versed
in circuitry but I do have an idea that I want to employ. I am currently
setting off professional fireworks using a RF transmitter and receiver.
Instead of using the handheld transmitter I want to build a usb device
that mimics the handheld. In this way I can use the computer to send
a signal to the receiver to set off the fireworks thereby giving the
process much more accuracy and the ability to coordinate the fireworks
with music. Any help with this would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Using the USB port sounds rather
complicated.
Instead you could either design a simple parallel port
interface to a UHF 433 MHz transmitter more easily, or there are ready-made
solutions available on the market that do it this way. A source in the
UK is quasar electronics, but they are available world-wide. The main
application is to extend peripheral device range from several feet to
hundreds of meters if desired.
Alternatively, the same sources probably
have USB interfaces too. I never checked for those.
