Laser Beam Alarm System with Rechargeable Battery for Laser

Step 7Now Put It All Together

Now Put It All Together
For those of you that followed the entire process I congratulate you because there is a lot of info which looks overwhelming but it really isn't. I could have cut it really short and not explained stuff but I wanted to because there are a lot of people who make great instructables and put a lot of time into them. This ultimately makes it a much friendlier instructable for people to use. I wanted to follow in the footsteps of theses that helped me with their instructables so I will make an effort to answer all of your questions, suggestions and looking forward to receiving some tips and advice on improvements.

Anyway, I just want to stress that it is important to test this whole system on a bread board first, then you can solder everything in and make custom etched PCB's and what not.

Start with the laser unit and then work on the larger more complex circuit. Once you are done you can make modifications and put them into project boxes to make them all really neat and tidy. I will show you what my final product looks like in the next few steps.

this is what my laser and alarm enclosures looked like once i put it all together:

Love cars, especially late 60's and early 70's American and Australian muscle cars!! I like to make things with my hands no matter what it is, and I love pulling things apart just to see how they work...
