Okay, I got it working with the one, totally cool. How do I do it with all of them? A friend told me that I can power all of them with a computer power supply since they have multiple +5V rails.
Now the NE555P that I'm using has a 200MW max input which is feeding each 10W speaker. If I am planning on powering 40 of these lil circuits with the one power supply, how do I go about hooking it up?
Wow, this is getting pretty silly, I think i should take a step back and clearly define what exactly is happening...
To start, I am using the Apple Pro Speaker, the clear globe and would like to attach the oscillator directly to the leads of each speaker element, creating a ticking, buzzing, square-wave sound. The speaker, from what I've been able to find, is a 10W Harmon Kardon element capable of 7Hz to 20kHz. I'm not fresh on the math for the necessary power needed, or the drain, so I'll need a lil help on that.
I would like to connect the oscillator, which currently has an LDR in place of R2 which varys frequency, to either a 9V battery or an external 5V power supply (the computer power supply).
The circuit should also maintain a light sensitive switch, which you have illustrated above. However, I have 40 of them, so if there were a way to control all of them with a single switch, another LDR, that would be great.
