Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : E-28 Project.

Think an E-28 will be just perfect for a similar project.

Just right for the 18 year old that leaves here every 2nd weekend & leaves his alarm clock one, buried in the quake ridden bedroom...

Sensors for light & motion....
Probably just a random beep or two required....




Edit, 10 seconds later.....

Maybe also some light switch over-ride!

I see there is something similar to this in this month's issue of DIYODE(page 32) based on the same annoy-a-tron device.

I'm sure they work OK, but you might not once the person you have planted this on finds out what you have done. IE: You could be in for a punch up the konk.

I'm all for a good joke and a laugh - during daylight hours, but something like this can be used to actually keep people up at night trying to find the source of the sound - many people will NOT thank you for that kind of prank if they miss out on their much needed sleep, and they also won't see the funny side either. I wouldn't.

A good way to lose friends, I expect.

Lol, there in lies the inspiration...

The intended victim has also read the article & is about to take up the Spy Vs Spy challenge.

That would be a double edged problem, as I'm informed it would be met with a bang on our door on the opposite side of the hall...

I could tolerated that for a few nights in the name of humour...
MrsC not so & there'd be a fair price to pay.
