Hey gang! I'm working on a prop for an airsoft scenario and I have a question.
A while back I purchased the timer kit from **broken link removed**. What I'm wanting to do is hook it up to a 10 second 555 one shot, which I've found schematics for and am confident I can make, to push a 120db siren so it can be heard from a distance. The problem, is when the alarm goes off it sends pulsed voltage to piezo buzzer and the voltage is incredibly low.
I did a little research and it looks like a monostable multivibrator will allow me to take the low, pulsing voltage and make it steady voltage and step it up enough to activate the one shot.
So I guess the question is; am I on the right path?
TIA
