switch adapting toys
Hello i have a son who has special needs and needs help playing with his toys, To enable him to use his toys i have rewired the toys switch to a big button type switch which he can press more easily (see attached pic)
Now what I would like to do is make the switch wireless so there's no longer a trailing cable from the switch to the toy, It would also be useful if one wireless switch could switch a number of toys.
if anyone could give me some advice where to start that would be great
many thanks chris

Re: switch adapting toys
There are many wireless switches out there, garage remotes for example, but they usually require a 12VDC supply. Many toys are powered by one or two batteries so this may be a problem?
You also don't want several toys switching on at the same time so some type of multi-channel circuit will be needed which involves having to select which toy is switched on, another problem?

Re: switch adapting toys
could have all the toys on the same channel and only turn one toy on at a time.
looks like i will need a very small no/nc relay which i could mount on the toy, but still unsure which type of switch to use
