Hi - I have a simple 4.5 volt dc toy which does a 5-10 second animation when a micro switch is pressed.
I would like to simulate pressing this button on a breadboard when a signal is sent from an Xbee radio. I have soldered two leads to the microswitch which if touched together (or me acting as resistor) activates the animation.
I thought I could do this by closing a switch on a relay to connect the leads on and off but this does not work - although it does fire the animation when I connect the leads to the breadboard even before the switch is thrown.
Could someone point me in the right direction. ty.
