We all know that many of those battery-powered, $20 alarms that come with double-sided tape that you can mount aren't very loud, and if you DO happen to have one that is REALLY loud, it is your professional, built-in multi $K wired security system.

- Parallax BASIC Stamp IIe microcontroller
- Parallax 'Board of Education' carrier board
- RGB LED (I used THIS ONE)
- 220 ohm resistor
- Some solid core wire
- Parallax PIR sensor (you can buy it online, or get it @ radioshack)
- Emic TTS module (from Parallax's online store; I was going to use this for another project, but that one was too big and expensive, and I never got around to it)
- Male header pins (I used THESE)
- Power supply
- Sparkfun connector wires (or any other wires that have crimped, plastic-housed, female connectors on both ends). I used THESE.
