Zen Blaster; a Most Annoying DIY Electronic Device (2015x55)

: 05, 2015

I build a little gadget to prank my lovely wife. WARNING! THIS DRIVES PEOPLE NUTS! DON'T DO IT TO SOMEONE WHO IS LIKELY TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE. Makes annoying beeps at random intervals. The random pitch and interval makes it very difficult to pin-point the source of the beeping. I might clean up the design and spin up a few circuit boards if anybody is interested in an easy build-along vid. Thanks for your help! http://www.Patreon.com/AvE Here's the code: /* Lil' BASTARD ZEN BLASTER WARNING! THIS DRIVES PEOPLE NUTS! DON'T DO IT TO ANYBODY WHO IS LIKELY TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE.
