Remote Control Operator

Enhancing remote controlled lighting

Remote Control Operator
Remote Control Operator
Remote controlled light switches are becoming more and more common. DIY stores have inexpensive sets consisting of several light switches and a remote control unit. It's then easy to control everything from your armchair. But how can you control the lighting when you're away, as a deterrent to burglars? With the help of this little circuit that is no longer a problem.

Materials

Gerber file

CAM/CAD data for the PCB referred to in this article is available as a Gerber file. Elektor GREEN and GOLD members can exclusively download these files for free as part of their membership. Gerber files allow a PCB to be produced on an appropriate device available locally, or through an online PCB manufacturing service.

Elektor recommends the Elektor PCB Service service from its business partner Eurocircuits or AISLER as the best services for its own prototypes and volume production.

The use of our Gerber files is provided under a modified Creative Commons license. Creative Commons offers authors, scientists, educators and other creatives the freedom to handle their copyright in a more free way without losing their ownership.
