Press Here Sound Chip Thing Wanted - Any Ideas?

divadee

This may be the weirdest request and I didnt know where to ask other than on here.

For a school project we are building a dam busters type construction with the planes and the bombs and some dams (obviously lol) but me and mr divadee are getting a bit carried away, and we would love like a press here type button that when pressed plays the dambusters theme music.

Its the type of thing that kids toys or cards etc... do you have any ideas where we could get one?

I know its a weird request but it would be fantastic for our model if it was possible.

why not just have a button on top of a hidden tape recorder that will play the sound in a loop.

Bear factory do those sort of things to put into the bears. Not sure if you can buy one seperately though.

It replays your own recorded sounds and is motion sensitive. Take the electronics out of its plastic body, embed the motion detector and speaker behind a suitable panel/casing (see Maplin) and you have something better than you wanted as you don't need to press a button, just wave your hand in front of it.

In a local discount shop they were selling sticky disks which when you pressed a red button it recorded a message and when you pressed the front it played it back. Not sure what they were called but they do exist. The batteries were all shot so they were made some time ago.

Also a long time ago I saw somewhere there was a hack for a musical greetings card. You could open the card and record your own stuff. I haven't found it again. It might have been hack-a-day. But maybe I'm making the memory up.

that sounds great would it be easy to take out of the casing?? im useless with techno stuff like this.

also what sort of suitable casing or panel would be required?

what we have is basically a medium size cardboard box that we have made to look like a big dam, we have made papermache trees and grass and a river as well.

then we have got a couple of planes dropping little bombs, onto the dam and river. i wanted something in the corner just small that when it is activated plays the dambusters theme! im sad aint i!! lol

From the look of the froggy in the picture it would be very easy to prise the case open and remove all the electronics. Then it is simply a case of mounting the speaker where it can be heard and the light sensor where it can see movement. I suspect a piece of cardboard and some sticky tape would suffice for what you are trying to achieve.
