Thank you very much everyone! this is sweet, im designing my own circuit :lol:
Theone, when you say to move R3 to the collector of Q1, wouldn't that result in Q2 not turning on @ all? Because the base would be seeing much more negative than positive.
Nigel, i like your idea of using 4k7 for R3. This would help Q2 turn on better, right? i imagine that this is where my problem is in getting the alarm delay part of my circuit to turn on.
Pebe, i will transfer R2, good idea :lol: . upping R4 to 4k7 will result in a longer buzzer delay, right? Would you be able to give me an explanation of how you figured that my buzzer would be getting 3 volts? I know how to calculate the current (ohms law), but i have yet to figure out how to find the voltage that components are getting.
