OK, be patient with me here as I'm sure there is a simple explanation!
I have a seperate pre-made circuit (a toy voice recorder module) which is triggered by a push to make switch. I want to activate this circuit via infrared.
So far I have created the IR input stage using an 08M, the circuit is attached. This is simple enough, but now I am unsure how to trigger (or I suppose I mean short together) the switch which activates the voice recorder module.
Should I be using a relay, transistor or could I just have an 08M output pin going to one side of the switch and the other side of the switch running to the ground of the picaxe circuit?
I'm sure there is a basic electronics solution but my brain is fried!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
Kev
