Hi folks,
This is my first move from lurking. I switch adapt standard off the shelf battery operated toys so they can be operated by children with severe disabilities with a simple push button style switch connected by a 3.5mm mono jack. It’s very much “learn as you go” because I don’t have any electronics training (which also means really technical answers are going to go right over my head)
The question I have is: I am coming across toys which operate by LDR (for example). I am assuming the type of switch activation required is determined by the circuit board?
Is there a way I can change the switching mechanism so it can be operated by another switch type? Space is always an issue as most of them are like trying to work on an elephant in a shoebox.
Many thanks
