    Switch Transistor
AI Thread Summary
A circuit is being developed to control an LED using a transistor switch activated by sound from a mobile device. The goal is to have one sound turn the LED on and the same or another sound turn it off. Suggestions include using two cross-connected transistors to create a memory cell that responds to different input signals. By applying low-pass and high-pass filters to the audio, distinct tones can generate the necessary base drive signals for the transistors. This setup could also allow for multiple LEDs to produce varying colors based on the audio content.

Hi guys, i want to fix a circuit that will use a led and i want to use a transistor as the switch to the led. I would like the base current to be produced by a sound played throug ha mobile. A sound turning the light on and the same or other sound turning it off. No ideas how to do it.Thank you for your help.any ideas are welcomed
asa!

In my last post at the bottom, I show a circuit that turns on a red or green LED based on the battery voltage (as a low-voltage indication). The two cross-connected transistors at the right would be how you would normally make a small 1-bit memory cell that can turn on an LED in response to something, and then turn it off in response to something else. By turning on one transistor, that shuts off the other transistor.

Now you just need to figure out what you want to do with your input signals to generate the base drives for the two transistors. For example, you could low-pass the music to generate one base drive signal, and high-pass the music to generate the other base drive signal. Then different tones in the music would turn the LED on or off. If you leave two LEDs in the circut like for the low-batt indicator, you'll get a mix of colors based on the music content.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
