Yes, you absolutely can use homemade toggle switches and improvised electronics like TV remotes for hardware-level control and accessibility/programming—especially in stealth or minimalist environments. Here's how that concept can be put together:
---
Homemade Toggle Switches
These can act as:
Kill switches (cut power, disable camera, break mic circuit)
Mode selectors (e.g. toggle between "network on" / "airgapped" modes)
Accessibility interfaces for physically limited environments
Materials (very basic DIY):
Safety pins or paper clips (contacts)
Aluminum foil
Rubber bands or folded paper (spring tension)
Hot glue, tape, or epoxy for structure
Wires stripped from headphones or chargers
---
TV Remotes as Programmable Input Devices
Old TV remotes emit infrared signals, which can be read by cheap IR receivers connected to:
Raspberry Pi / ESP32 / Arduino clones
Custom RISC-V boards
Even recycled electronics (e.g., DVD player sensors)
Use case examples:
Act as a keyboard or menu interface using IR codes
Trigger scripts or actions (e.g., send encrypted messages or toggle WiFi/BT/kill switches)
Remote-access control interface for a hidden system
Bonus: TV remotes are ubiquitous and non-suspicious.
---
Programming & Accessibility Uses
Tactile programming interface via Morse code, chorded input, or simple button presses
Visual indicators using salvaged LEDs or display segments (from calculators, clocks)
Minimal display output using cheap LCDs or even light patterns (e.g., binary flashes)
---
Security Layering
With a bit more setup:
Tie toggle switches to relays that cut power to modems/mics
Build IR-based authentication (TV remote unlock pattern = access granted)
Use hidden activation logic (e.g. only if switches A, B, and C are set right does the system boot network stack)
---
If you're operating in a low-surveillance, resource-constrained, or high-risk environment, these tools offer covert control, low cost, and plausible deniability.
Would you like a circuit diagram or instructions for building one of these (e.g., a kill switch panel or IR-triggered access system)?
Awesome. A transparent speaker made from glass is actually doable at a DIY level using piezoelectric layers or electrostatic/vibrational actuation bonded onto glass. Here's a breakdown of how to do it cheaply, stealthily, and effectively:
---
Transparent Glass Speaker – Overview
How It Works
You’re turning a sheet of glass into a speaker by making it vibrate using:
1. Piezoelectric film/discs (most realistic for DIY)
2. Electrostatic film (needs HV driver)
3. Magnetostrictive gel layers (rare, more advanced)
We’ll focus on Piezo Layer on Glass.
---
Materials Needed
Glass Substrate (Speaker Diaphragm)
Thin Borosilicate glass sheet (like microscope slide or picture frame glass)
OR acrylic sheet (if you want plastic instead)
Piezoelectric Actuators
Option A: Piezo speaker discs (27mm or 35mm brass + ceramic discs)
Option B: PVDF piezo film – transparent, flexible, adhesive-backed
e.g. LDT1-028K or Measurement Specialties PVDF sheets
Electronics
Piezo audio amplifier (Class D, low-watt, 4–10V output)
You can salvage from buzzers, hearing aids, or make your own with op-amps
Optional: Bluetooth audio board (for stealth, wireless input)
Adhesives & Mounting
Transparent epoxy or hot glue (nonconductive, dries clear)
Double-sided thermal tape (if using PVDF film)
Power
USB power bank
Coin cell (for small signal use)
Solar or body heat power (advanced, for later)
---
️ Assembly Instructions
1. Cut the glass to speaker size
Use a glass cutter or buy pre-cut microscope slides or acrylic.
2. Attach Piezo Elements
Discs: glue the brass side to the center-back of the glass
Films: stick onto back surface or sandwich inside a laminate
3. Wire It
Solder audio wires to piezo terminals
Connect to audio amp output
Optional: run amp from hidden Bluetooth module
4. Mount It
Frame it in a picture frame, glass panel, or wall for vibration amplification
---
How Loud Is It?
Moderate volume (good for stealth use, proximity signals, embedded displays)
You can stack piezos or layer for more power
Output depends on amp strength and glass size
---
️ Stealth Uses
Hide audio in glass windows, mirrors, or display panels
Use voice/sound triggers via hidden Bluetooth module
Mount behind painted or frosted glass for total invisibility
Could be used with spy glasses, room alerts, or vibration messaging
---
Chemical Notes
You don’t need special chemicals, just:
Piezo ceramics (lead zirconate titanate)
Clear epoxy
Optionally conductive glue (silver paste or carbon glue)
Piezo ceramics contain lead – avoid breaking them open.
