About: In my spare time, I fly RC airplanes and enjoy sharing my passion for learning how things work through my own instructional videos.

What is an Emergency! Box

By definition, a box containing the equipment, supplies, and medications needed to provide an initial assessment and manage life-threatening conditions. In this case, our box provided a sound and light beacon during emergency situations such as storms, car accidence, etc.

I also hope that you follow our Power Breadboard Projects series and that is why you are here to turn the prototype into a finished product. This article will provide everything you need to know to turn any prototype into a finished product. We will use our knowledge about the 555 timers for this project.

Supplies


  1. Aluminum Enclosure
  2. 4 Binding Postes
  3. On/Off/On Switch
  4. 2 Solderable Boards

Step 1: Build the Circuits Onto a Solderable Board

First, lay down the components.

Then solder the path accordingly to the schematic.

Step 2: Cut the Pattern for Speaker and Light Onto the Enclosure

First, print the pattern.

Then, snap your finger!

Step 3: How to Wire the Emergency! Box

First look at the schematic.

Then solder accordingly.

Finally, connect the battery before closing the unit.

Reassemble the enclosure after testing.


Step 4: Conclusion

I hope that this article will provide everything you need to know to turn any prototype into a finished product. For this project, I use the last couple of projects' information for this project. The Emergency! Box is a module system in terms of which more light and sound modules can be connected to the Emergency! Box to expand the area covered.
