A fun little project idea that tempts potential ‘victims’ with a blinking button that says, “Do NOT Press This Button!” When pressed, it sets off a siren and blinking LEDs. Let’s see who can resist!
I think it’s better to hide the cable that connects the button to the LED box. I just used what I had handy to cover the cable — two Christmas toys I had nearby. I would use something more appropriate if this was going to be anything more than a quick test setup. Wireless would be the best… maybe next time.
If you’re an Arduino fan, here’s a little side note about the LEDs. It was necessary to blink the LEDs using millis instead of delay so the button LED, the siren, and the different blink rates of the LEDs all worked at the same time.
