What if I want it to send a message to my pc? via AD-HOC or internet? Is that possible? If I remember correctly I think there is some arduino with built in wifi antenna. Just wondering, thanks!
Question: I want to do something like this, but instead of just having a buzzer, I want it to play back .wav files I upload to..uh, something, don't know yet.
You have any ideas as to what I chip I would use to do something like this?
The wav file is less then 100kbs if that matters.
@meatwadgunit Yes, that is certainly possible through many methods. The easiest, but not cheapest method would be to use a "MP3 Shield" for the Arduino (search Google for one). They run about $29. A much cheaper, but more work involved option would be to use a $10 recording module from Radio Shack. You could easily trigger playback on the recording module using the Arduino, but the sound quality wouldn't be as good as the MP3 Shield.
@Regulator1332 The code is very generic. It was so easy that I don't think I saved my original source. You can get example code from Instructables by searching for "Arduino tripwire".
This is the closest project to what I would like to build. Can you modify it so that a LCD screen is attached which will show a count of how many times the beam is broken? I have a real world application I would like to apply this towards.
@1babycody Yes, that could easily be done. Unfortunately I don't have code to show you how to do it, but can tell you it is not difficult to add a simple 16x2 LCD and output numbers (and add things like a reset button). View tutorials on Instructables for more information on how to do it.
How much would you charge to build and send one of these out?
Or could you make a tutorial? I am a rookie at wiring and all of that stuff but id love to learn and you seem to know what your doingg!!! Ive always wanted one of these and if i build my own id feel accomplished haha

Do you have the code for this project?
