I need to learn how to build a wireless switch that can turn something on like lets say a coilgun. I need it to be wireless so that i can stand back behind cover and fire my coilgun and do other things without harming myself or my classmates.
I have to fire it when i choose, no timer I dont know about infrared, i can consider using an old tv remote It cant be plugged in, it has to be 95% portable
try taking a remote controlled car and wer one of the motors hook in put a relay that fires it relays are beater than switches any way and take the remote and use one of the switches to turn on the car voila
pretty good idea but i dont really know much about relays and i have yet to find an r/c car. radio controlled cars are something ive been looking for for a while
i CAN order them, i just dont really want to. im only a sophomore in high school and dont have a job. i used to have a very small r/c car but i got rid of it a while ago
well u could make this and have a toggle switch that turns it on and off then in stead of the led use a relay use this as the triggering yuo can put it in a little box that you but battier power to it then it will fire the gun the down side a tv remote can fire the coil gun or any remote control that's y i asked if there wass any infrared interference
and i wold suggest a height power infrared light the one that i have on there might work but you cant stand to far back with a height power one it will b about 10ft

It might just be easier to run a very long wire.

And much more reliable (read safer). A home brew wireless switch maybe sensitive to the high power magnetic etc.
