Solar Powered Wireless Detector by Mark Dixon

The mobile phone flashing indicator module I am using here reacts by flashing tiny superbright onboard LEDs when a mobile phone rings. I simply removed the two 1.5V button batteries from the Flasher module and attached the croc clips to the battery connector mounts.

folly, the Lancaster based digital arts organisation (http://www.folly.co.uk) has a limited stock of Network devices to give away for free (one per person) - to get yours send a self addressed stamped envelope to folly (Network Device), 6.4.4 Alston House, White Cross, Lancaster, LA1 4XQ, UNITED KINGDOM. Or you can buy larger quantities online at http://www.rapidonline.com (Product code 13-0668)

The module responds to either incoming or outgoing phone signals by flashing a 20 second light sequence through 2 LEDs. Up to 4 additional surface mount LEDs can be added to the circuit. The module can also be used as an input module for other circuits. It has a built-in antenna but this can be extended to increase the effective distance from the phone to the module.
