OK, first of all, this is more a learning exercise for me (my
background is with computers, but I am wanting to acquire some
electronics skills), although it does have a practical use, so please
bear with me. In my house we have shelf-type-things where folded
clothes are placed after being washed. I am wanting a system where
there is a simple on-off switch either by each person's shelf or in a
group. Each switch would correspond with an indicator in the family
room, either a single light with the persons name beside it, or,
ideally, an airliner seatbelt-type sign with the persons name printed
on front and a light behind it that lit up the name when the
corresponding switch is activated. I would also like to have some way
for that person to reset the light at the shelf when they picked up
their clothes (I'm guessing this would be an argument for the original
switch to be near the shelf so the same switch can be used to both
activate and reset the indicator). One final thing that would be nice
but is not required would be a medium-volume buzzer that sounded
whenever anyone's light was activated.
As I said, this is more of a learning expereience for me than anything
else. I am wanting to know what parts I'd need, how best to go about
assembling the system itself, and anything else I need to know. Thanks
in advance for any help!
