AC/DC & Electronics – Modify/change the circuit board or on/off button?

Hello, my dears, I would like to control a component (in my case a humidifier, for those interested) via a controller. In my case, I only need on/off. I don't need all that bells and whistles with LEDs etc.! Unfortunately, the component has a button that you have to press first to turn the thing…

Some questions about a microphone pre-amplifier (op-amp)?

Hello, I have some questions about the following circuit: (taken from a datasheet from Texas Instruments) So R1 is simply the resistor for the inverting amplifier, so why is it installed next to C3, which filters the DC voltage? What is C2 for? I've heard it's for filtering high frequencies, but how does it work?…
