Sound alarm control unit — AVR module

Simple unit to control three sound signals; beep, siren and buzzer. Uses an AVR ATtiny2313 microcontroller.

Details

This simple unit controls three sound signals; beep, siren and buzzer. Each sound signal will only be given once; when a new alarm is triggered. The input must remain clear for at least four seconds for that signal to rearm.

A beep is given every six minutes if an alarm is active, as a reminder. The sound LED flashes when a sound alarm is active; once for signal 1 (beep), twice for signal 2 (siren) and three times for signal 3 (buzzer), this flashing pattern is repeated.

This module used to control the sound alarms in the Rack box. Modules with alarm outputs sent a signal to this sound controller, which carried out the sound alarm. If system mute was active the power to the buzzer and siren was disconnected.
