Abstract

Control apparatus is responsive to a command signal received using a non-physical link, preferably acoustic, to control at least one electric motor 18, 19 by producing a pulsed signal dependent on the duration of the command signal and stepping a counter 13 through a number of stages equal to the number of functions to be controlled. The motor is preferably controlled by controlling the mark/space ratio of pulses of current to the motor. The acoustic signal may be produced either directly by the operator e.g. by whistling or speaking or by the operator using a tone generator. The preferred use of the control apparatus is in a toy such as a vehicle or crane. <IMAGE>
