Step 6Summary
You are now the proud owner of your very own internet!
Use it for whatever you like!
I have a couple of do-nots for you though.
1) DO NOT take to an airport, unless you like some extra ventilation in your head.
2) DO NOT leave in a car, or attached to the bottom of a car, unless you like prison food.
Any questions?
You may be wondering why I chose the methods I used, such as a relatively complicated 555 circuit when I could just buy a flashing LED.
The answer isn't really simple. I wanted something slightly more complex so I could have greater satisfaction upon completion.
By all means, if you want to make something more basic, buy a flashing LED. You can even buy one from Maplin with a plastic surround and wires already attached, you just need to drill a hole in your box, put it in and attach a power source (albeit 12v, as it's designed as a dummy car alarm).
I am quite happy with my project, having set out to do something simple, yet looks good and is accurate to the original IT Crowd version.
The internet is an amazing wonderous thing that has revolutionised the way we live forever. Just don't drop it!
