Fire alarms hacked to play mario brothers theme

Показать описание
This is a simple hack to a fire alarm to make it play pretty much anything you want.

One of these fire alarms use a speaker (similar to a speaker that you would find in the earpiece of an old rotary phone), the other uses a massively large 2" piezoelectric disc (I've never seen one that large).

If you simply follow the positive lead on the speaker or piezo element, it will lead you to a transistor that is driving the speaker. On both these units, the base of the transistor (use the datasheet for the transistor to find out which one is the base) is tied to a resistor, which then leads to an IC. The IC outputs a square wave signal to make the fire alarm sound.

On both these units, I cut the link between the IC and the resistor. I then tied a microprocessor (in this case, an Arduino atmega328) right to the resistor. I made the assumption that the resistor value to the transistor was good, since both ICs on each board output a signal at 5 volts. I also assumed that if it was good enough for the circuit's IC, then it's good enough for mine.

So if you want the code, go there. This is a simple project that anyone could do.

Attention: Bowser has breathed fire and set the building on fire, please exit to the nearest pipe and make sure the princess isn't kidnapped afterward, do not use the elevators.

Anyone can take and play this song through a fire alarm speaker/strobe, but I give this guy a lot of credit. He's making horn/strobes, which are only supposed to make the sound they have programmed, play this song by putting on a microprocessor. Who would have thought of that? Haha, great job!

Very impressive :)
I bet it was loud, and catchy at the same time.

If that was only a real fire alarm system in a building! FIRE DRILLS WOULD BE AWESOME!

It's amazing what you can do with multi-tone fire alarms!

If only the alarms at my school sounded like this, instead we have ear-splitting spectralerts.

This should be what the fire alarms sound like at Nintendo HQ 🤣

I know this would be cool for school but kids would pull the alarm just to hear it. via causes the fire department to come to your school when nothing is wrong
