I fear my ignorance is showing....
I am looking for some way to induce conductivity between two wires -- I thought these might do it, but they rely on sharing a ground with the wires being connected...
I have a device that exposes two leads, when they are connected with a mechanical switch then the device is actuated.
I want to connect those two leads using the pico, but I can't introduce any current into them.
I don't really want to use a mechanical relay for this (like the ones in the powerstrip) but I will if I have to.
A relay would do the job since it's powered totally independently from the wires being switched
I guess I'll go search for solid-state 3.3v controlled relays
I should have started a new thread for this question...
Something like this?
