WineGong – Might be your next doorbell
by Matt Burns on August 18, 2008

 

Is this doorbell classy or nerdy? We can’t decide. Part of us digs the natural material and wine glasses, but then, it is a DIY project that involves gong’n two flutes all controled by a homebuilt circuit board.

 The setup is quite easy:

- The two glasses (Butlers) are srewed to a wooden board (OBI)
- The servo (Conrad) is attached to the board via angle brackets (OBI) by tie wraps
- The wooden spoon (Ikea) is attached to the servo by tie wraps
- The board has two colored LEDs attached to the glasses fixated by hot-melt adhesive

Think we’re going with nerdy. Yeah, definitely a nerdy doorbell.

Second chime melody after the jump.
