Trying to find 1 v trigger relay

(1/2) > >>

Happyhopper:
Anyone know of a read relay at say 1 .v trigger?
 

ledtester:
A bipolar transistor "triggers" at 0.7V and that can be used to drive a relay.

What's your ultimate goal?

Happyhopper:
To use a mp3 player as a control for a 3 volt motor thank you for your help

ledtester:
I'm going to guess that you want to trigger a relay when the audio level is greater than a certain amount. If that's not the case you gotta give us more details on what you really trying to do.

Here's a very straightforward idea:

- get a LM3916 and a 555
- build the standard VU-meter circuit that is described in the datasheet; there is also an instructable here:

https://www.instructables.com/id/LM3915LM3916-VU-Meter/

- the LM3916 VU-meter will operate from it's own supply, like +5V

- wire up the 555 as a "monostable multivibrator" which will activate a 5V relay on its output;

- use one of the LED outputs of the LM3916 to activate the trigger input of the 555; which one you choose will determine the trigger level

Audioguru again:
The LM3915 and LM3916 are obsolete, not made anymore and not in stock at Digikey.
The LM3914 is still made and available only in a tiny, impossible to solder, surface mount package.
