Break Beam Detector
Sound an alarm when the light falling on a photoresistor is blocked!
Parts:
Voltage (+V) can vary from 4 to 9 volts. Experiment by substituting different values for resistors R1. Try different values for C1. You can use a speaker from an old set of headphones.
Use a flashlight for a light source. If you would like to try creating a beam using lenses and high intensity leds follow this link to the Hila light beam detector.
