ATtiny Goes Wireless

In many application areas it can be very handy to be able to control something wirelessly. This circuit shows how an ATtiny microcontroller can be used to switch an appliance on and off remotely with a little help from wireless transmitter and receiver modules available from Conrad Electronic. If needed, it is very easy to extend the project to include additional commands.
