Your project:

My project is to hack a landline telephone using a raspberry pi and set it up as an internal comms device in my house. I like the idea of hacking an old piece of tech with a new one and really loved hacking the telephone buttons for this project.

 

The project using a mumble server run on one of the raspberry pis, the two pis are clients. They are actually communicating all the time but have their microphones turned off.

When phone A lifts up its receiver and presses a button it turns on its microphone and phone B will hear it.
