Hey Dominic. It's great to see a diverse homebrew spring up. You used a 555 and a transistor amplification stage. Did it end up being super loud that way? How was the response of the sounds? Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI've never built the Ada Fruit one so have no frame of reference for comparison! It was squeaky but not annoyingly loud.
