Play a prank on your friends (enemies?) by hiding a high-pitched beeper which sounds off at random time intervals. This instructable uses minimal parts. All that is required is: battery microcontroller speaker Why don’t I just use a 555 timer chip? You certainly could. I like this method because: 1. The ability to beep at […]

The Arduino — and AVRs in general — have a wide range of power supply options ranging from around 1.8V to 5.5V. The choice of voltage is usually determined by the desired clock speed or power consumption requirements. The Arduino and its many variants have power jacks that allow connections from big, clunky “wall warts.”
