Wireless remote, RFID and Arduino
(This first post is outdated, but does give some background of my project idea)
Hello everyone.
I'm new here, and have a moderate background in electronics. I have built kits and small circuits, and do work on my stand up Video Arcade games (re-capping and such). I'm not knowledgeable to create circuits from scratch however. So hopefully I can enlist some help from the members.
First off, I can not tell you exactly what I am going to use the required circuit for. I can tell you it is nothing illegal, immoral or unethical. Check out my profile and there is a hint as to what I might be involved in. However, I am bound by a code not to discuss any issues with the "uninitiated". I hope you under stand this situation.
So here is what I have and what I need to do. And in my case, size does matter. Smaller is better.
I have a 120v remote controlled outlet switch. (store bought) I will be making modifications to this and repackaging the device.
What I need is a circuit that works off 120v AC. This circuit needs to do one thing, and only one thing at this point (with possible features added down the road-timer on/off?), it needs to turn ON an LED. This LED needs some flexibility as to size, brightness and color, as I do not currently know what will work best. That's it. An LED that turns on/off.
I see it either as a circuit that plugs into the 120v AC and runs from line voltage or as a circuit that uses the 120v AC to activate a relay and fire a switch on the LED circuit that is running on AA or AAA batteries (or maybe a coin cell or watch battery). I could also perhaps HACK the remote outlet, by converting the outlet to DC battery power and trigger the LED from there. I have no idea if that is possible.
Anyone out there that can help I would love to talk about this in public or private.
Thanks in advance,
-David
