I have some knowledge of digital circuits, but not much in the way of analogue circuits so I'm stuck on this.
Here's what I have: A digital camera infrared remote. I want to be able to "press" a buton on this camera remote remotely, ie RF so I don't need a direct line of sight.
I also have one of those remote (RF) controlled noise machines that I'm trying to use to trigger a button on the camera remote.
I've taken apart the camera remote, and soldered two wires on the contact of the button.. so that if I short the wires the button on the camera remote button gets "pressed".
My problem is I'm not sure how to attach these wires to the noise machine so that when I use the RF remote for the noise machine, the camera remote button gets "pressed".
Simply attaching these wires to the two speaker wires on the noise machine doesn't work, as this causes camera remote button to always be pressed.
I think a transistor might be whats required, but I'm not sure how to set it up. I've found some schematics of transistors as switches on the internet, but it seems my case is a bit different.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
