Hi All,
After fixing up my many other projects (of which most of them were designed here), I am finally finished them all and onto my next project.
I thought I'd try something with the lighting in my room. I am thinking of using either an infrared remote, or my existing car alarm remote. I know the RF frequency of the car remote, and using it would save me having yet another remote. The infrared is the easier option though. (Any opinions here??)
So I am thinking a simple 1 button infrared remote, which when pressed for say less than a second will click a relay over, then when you press it again (for less than a second( clicks it back.
If this isn't too hard, then I'll make it hard :roll:
If the button is held down, the lights should fade out.. not 100% how this would work, and its not a huge priority, I just think it would look sweet
If anyone has a circuit for latching a relay by using only one push button it would be very handy, I came up with something but it kept blowing up with a 400V voltage flowing through it. (using crocodile clips).
Thanks in advance,
Tim.
