I missed those days when we used to built electronic circuits from scratch.

Is there anything for a person to do here?

[louisiukas]

Another too simple electronics project where using an Arduino is complete overkill.

[lowedv]

where is the code to upload in the arduino software

[2gogy]

could to use analogWrite with sensor?

[MrMooseful]

@louisiukas Could you link to a place explaining how to do this without an arduino? Thank you in advance

@jimthechimmneyman1 ofc if u connect the batteries

[jimthechimmneyman1]

will this work unplugged from the computer after uploading to the arduino

[MusicGaming1]

switch the buzzer whit a raid siren! :D

[TheComputerNerd0101]

Switch the buzzer with a alarm clock !

@lifefortruth Ah, but this is the age of software meeting hardware. Your wire your connections using code now.

In those older days, you couldn't "code" your circuits. But you didn't make them by hand either. Think about it, you used many integrated circuits all the time--such as the 74-series chips.

Today we're not taking any shortcuts either. All of our logic is still there, we just supplement our projects with code as you did with integrated circuits, which were manufactured by a factory.
