I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I have to give it a shot.
I'll leave out all the booring details;
I have a device that issues a "control signal" - a low voltage pulse - on the press of a button on a remote handset.
What I need it to do is to connect two wires, like a light switch.
Any input on how I can build a module for this thing, that connects a circuit when the control signal is issued?
You need something like a flip flop. Send out a pulse it goes over, send another pulse it goes back. This flip flop then controls the actual switch. If you have a big pulse, you could do it with relays, if the pulse is weedy and fast, a chip would be better. Then you have to specify what you want to switch, 230V AC?, 12 V DC?, .01 A?, 20A?

Voltage of signal to trigger the switch: 4~5 mV, current is next to nothing
Voltage over the main circuit: 4~5 V. also here current is next to nothing (this is also just a control signal to unlock a door)
The pulse is for 2-3 seconds, but I only need the main circuit to be enabled for a few milli-seconds.
What components are required for a chip like this?
