Wireless Touch Switch Control

A Devise that Provides Control of appliances for Children with Retts Syndrome

 Designer:  Salah Awad 

Client: Chuck Morgan, Malden High School, Malden, MA 

Abstract  

            Touch switch wireless devices are widely used with kids with learning disabilities. This device can be used for many different reasons, from being a learning tool to just a touch switch control. Depending on how the Microcontroller is programmed, this touch switch wireless control can do different things such as turning on a lamp or controlling an electronic device like a Television. The focus for this project is to be able to turn some lamps on or other small devices such as a CD player.
