Whats the alarm you want to drive and what power supplies do you have.? Last edited: Oct 6, 2010

Click to expand... ok, Decide which you want light or sound,or both, also tell me the type of devices and I will modify the circuit.

Click to expand... You did ask for a circuit.... which I posted. Tell me what components you have available and I will post another circuit. Sketch out and post your version of the proposed Schmitt trigger circuit Its always a good idea to fill in your location so that we have an idea what you can buy in your area.
