I was wondering if anyone knows a way to control a switch through a microcontroller. I want to be able to open and close a switch with a basic stamp.

Please help me [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Thank you

    It depends on the switch. You can use a microcontroller to control a servo motor and mechanically couple the servo to the switch (depending on how it's built and how it is normally opened and closed). You might be able to substitute a relay for the switch and control the relay using a transistor and the microcontroller.

    You might look at the Wikipedia. Search the web for "wiki servomechanism" and "wiki relay".
