#lightbluebean

It involves a radio, a BrightBlue Bean (my new toy from Christmas!!!) a speaker, and an LCD! Oh, and also some batteries. Woohoo! 

Basically this miraculous thing is my own Room-land security. An alarm will sound if anyone touches my doorknob, (some tinfoil on the ground is Earth/Ground). My door handle really doesn't do anything because you don't have to spin it to open the door, just push, so there’s also some tinfoil on my door and I’ll be notified if my dog is about to barge in! It also will do some other cool stuff but I’m still working on the design!

I’m using the solderless breadboard to prototype, but I’m going to solder it once ready. I’m also using the Makey Makey for prototype but I will eventually solder leads onto the radio control (for super fancy touch activation!) The speaker and alarm box are from a Snap Circuits Junior in case you were wondering (you probably weren't, but know you know anyways).

I know I should probably put some more photos on here, but it’s currently 9:30 and that means I have to go finish my Chemistry lab report.. I’ll edit this post whenever I decide something is photo ready!

Here’s the super high-tech doorknob touch connector to motivate you to check back periodically:
