I lost the original video, so I redid it with more of a commentary this time.

Pretty spiffy! I have that exact same weather radio. I may have to do something like that bacause I'm not really a big fan of that stupid eratic hi-lo alarm it has. You'll have to show me how you set up the thing that plays the sound.

It's a 2x20 second voice recording module (electronics123.com) with the output connected to a LM386 800 milliwatt amplifier chip, both running from 6 volts. I can draw up a schematic for anybody that wants it, but I kinda just came up with it in my head. The module came with a small microphone, but I removed it and fed the signal directly from my PC soundcard for a clean signal. (used a 40dB pad to attenute the signal and not overdrive the module). It has two banks for two 20 second recordings. Anywho, I'll come up with info for anyone interested.

I just so happen to have a copy of the orignal video.... I thought it was so cool the first time that I have saved the video since then... here it is:

Kewl....only difference aside from no dialogue is the radio. This was due to the alarm output. The older gray radio had a +6 volt out put, whereas the newer white one had a switched output. Same sound nonetheless.
