Hi everyone,
I am currently working on my bachelors exhibition in graphic design. As a part of that exhibition i will make small "printers" out of toys and a pen, letting the visitors make their own random poster.
The main toy i'm using is a so called I-BUG (**broken link removed**) which is activated by sound and then moves around randomly. As I don't want the toy to be able to be activated all the time, I want to remote control the on/off-switch. To accomplish that I'm trying to use these mini RC-cars - but without success. What I'm trying to find out is how the output from the RC-car (about 2 Volt) should function as a switch for the I-BUG. Or if there is some other easy way to make a remote controlled on/off-switch (wont be able to use IR though, since I am making four of these "printers", and they should be activated at the same time...)
Since I'm a beginner I need really easy instructions...
Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
Einar, Sweden
