Hi All,
Preface: Completely new to this, and electronics in general, so full on explain it like I'm 5 is fine with me
Objective: I have a cupboard, the idea is when the cupboard is opened, a pre-recorded audio clip is played (even better if I can have a bank of audio clips and it play one at random, but if not, a single clip is fine). Clip should only plays once, not continuously.
Approach: Seems to me, I'd need the audio player, hooked up to some metal switch, with one contact placed either side of the door and door frame, so when the door is opened, the contact breaks, and sets the audio recorder/player to play the clip.
So...
1) How do I go about hooking up the audio recorder/player to the break contact switch?
2) Any ideas on what to actually search for to find the break switch component, because I can't for the life of me find anything, but i'm 99% sure I'm googling the wrong things
3) Any other advice on the execution of this / any recommendations on a decent audio recorder/player? (Found this on amazon, but it plays on the push of a button, as oppose to the break of a contact: Can't seem to post the link, but it's called EZSound Box - Front Play Button)
Thanks for any help
(If needed / useful, can upload photos of the cupboard door etc.)
