Nice and simple.[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-874f0cf9-1386-4c2d-82bb-fb7e55a2353b/contentimage_5F00_930.png:16:16] It makes me wonder if piezos would be an alternative to use with BEAM type cores?

I added one of those piezo units and an op amp to a practice drum pad once and turned it into a midi trigger.

You could have your chick play music that way.....

Love this simplicity. Maybe a new way to energy harvesting while child are playing ?

Go Sparky! How many Sparkys do I need to get me off the grid? Great project and a nice job on the air circuit board.
