I'm looking into the idea of home growing a door chime beginning with a magnet switch on a door. (All the wireless kind I've seen have crap range and only one receiver and no visual alert.)
I want to make one audio chime and then in a more distant location, make a second audio chime with a light too.
As a beginner, and sometimes slightly more than that, I'm not sure what methods exist to activate a short "ding" or electrical pulse that doesn't continue through the duration of time that the door is open.
~On another topic, I am interested in measuring G force with acceleration. I've searched around a little bit, but would appreciate a pointer in the right direction.
I'm wondering the name of a circuit/device that can be used measure change in velocity. I'm curious how difficult it is (for an electronics non-genious) to take measurements / read voltages / design circuits based on the outputs of this device.
The maximum expected change in velocity is about 15 feet per second per second.
Thank you.
