Laser powered burglar alarm

i will show you how to make a laser powered burglar alarm

Step 1 Materials Required

1] LDR
2] buzzer
3] coin cell - cr2032
4] one laser 2mv or more (most important =D)
5] pref board or bead board  or you can do it without using both
6] foam (for the stands)
7] 2n2222 transistor
7] resistor 100 ohm and 4.7k ohm
8] Two Neodymium (NdFeB) magnet
9] metal strip
10] tape and double sided tape
11] a long nail or toothpick

hi i made da circuit it works fine but the transistor gets hot is there anything wrong in my circuit

[robot1398]

which transistor did you use?????

[Raqeeb]

2N2222

[salty58]

which pins of the phototransistor are you using ,it seems you are only using 2 ,iam assuming the base is not connected,to anything,is this right

[robot1398]

the phototransistor that i have has only 2 pins not 3 if u have a 3 pin then use only
the collector and the base

[amruth]

Iknow u soldered the components on the board but how did u connect them to each other. I would be nice if showed me a pic

[amruth]

Hey robot can i know how u connected everything onto the PCB, like using wires or something else, i have probs using wires cause they break after a few days. Can u plz tell me wat method u used.

[robot1398]

i connected all the things with solder at the back of the board

[amruth]

Can u plz take a pic and show me.

[amruth]

Hey robot1398 i didnt actually understand the relay part cause i am not good with relays. It would be easier if u showed it with a circuit. I am using a SPDT relay it has 5 terminals.

[robot1398]

i will give the circuit by tomorrow as now i have to make it

[amruth]

its been 2 days when will u give the circuit. :)

[robot1398]

i have not made it u should connect the realey from collector of the transistor to the power supply and use only 2 terminals

[amruth]

K i will try , but still try to make the circuit plz.

[amruth]

I forgot to ask how to keep the circuit on after the laser is broken and connected again, how to make the buzzer ring even after that. :)

check out my new instructable

[robot1398]

a relay i think connect it from the collector of the transistor to the power supply

[amruth]

Hi robot1398, thx for the advice and the circuit worked but the LDR i use is really big so when i hit a laser the dosent stop but when i hit a LED flashlight it works. I think i need the same high risestive LDR in a smaller size. If u hav any ideas plz tell me. The ldr to the left is the usual size the one i am using is to the right. In the nixt pic i showed it by hitting the laser. Thx for the help.

[robot1398]

you should use the smaller LDR because it is almost the size of the laser beam
but the other is too big and the laser beam is too small for such a big LDR

[amruth]

Sry for bieng such a noob but i wanted to know wat type of ldr and buzzer did u use. Thx for all the help.

[robot1398]

i used a simple piezoelectric buzzer and the LDR which my local electronic store gave to me.

[amruth]

Hey Author i tried ur circuit and when i connect the batteries the buzzer keeps ringing, i checked the laser and the circuit but it is all correct. Can u plz help me and this is a great instructable.

[robot1398]

ok now try aming the beam of laser straight onto the ldr or use a led torch if you cant keep your hand stable if want to stop this change the 4.7k resistor to a lower level

[amruth]

Will this work for sure

[robot1398]

yes

I voted you!

[robot1398]

whats knex never heard that term

[robot1398]

thank you very much

[supercapacitor]

Looks like this will just make a POP sound. Then silence...

[supercapacitor]

Oh I see, this is one of those buzzers with built in tone generation circuitry.
Nice i'ble.
