Got my hands on an Adafruit Audio fx sound board (16mb).
It's got 11 trigger pins on it, and I'm using typical pushbuttons and such to activate some of the pins.
However, I'd like to find a reed swtich as i think that would do the trick; i want a simple switch that closes the circuit when the door opens (triggering a sound for halloween this year).
I found some $1 prox sensors at the dollar store which have a reed switch in them...normally off until you pull the magnet away. But, I'm wondering if I can cut the lines from the piezo buzzer and use them to connect the trigger's pin and ground on the adafruit board.
Are there NO reed switches that use no power? I'm just looking to close a loop here.
I'm still reading their forum looking for someone with that question already.
