My Home-Made Cell Phone Triggered Circuit

[ZomgStuff]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I couldn't find any other categories that this would fall under. This is a small project that I'm working on that I thought I'd share with you guys here, especially to see if there are any electronic hobyists or electrical engineers in the making.

So here I made a cell-phone triggered circuit for fun that basically gets triggered by a cell phone.

You call the cell phone, it rings, and sends out a signal to a circuit.


This is very useful for various things like launching a rocket (which I've already done), launching off fireworks, opening your garage door, turning on a webcam, and copious other different applications.

The phone I used was a $10 disposable phone that I got from Wallmart.

I plan to eventually possible turn this much bigger project by making a cell-phone controlled RC car. Basically you call the phone attached to the car which utilizes a PIC 2 microprocessor, and then you can control it with the keypad of the phone that called it.

Note:
You can ignore the piece of paper in the background, I posted this on my home forum and I just wanted to prove that it was made by me, by no means am I trying to advertise the forum.

Hmm, I am sure I'm not the only one who thinks this could be used for more sinister purposes nice little project though

came right to my mind...
Evilish stuff

Well I admire your 'inventive spirit' I myself did those kind of crazy stuff 15 years ago, like track my family in the house via a pin...
but why you don't follow the right path? narrow the idea and patent the process...

I'm sure Al-Queda already patented this sort of technology

Not sure they're concerned with patents, but I'm fairly certain this is how the officials believe the Madrid bombings were perpetrated.

doing exactly what?

So aren't you thought of a commercial application... but you thought it will be a good product for us?

man you got your values backwards....

[ZomgStuff]

It was a joke...

I would connect that to my cars remote starter. Then I can just call my car to start it up!
