seat belt alarm sensor (car belt alarm circuit )
with reed switch A reed switch can also be used as a sensor for a seat belt alarm. Here are the steps to create a seat belt alarm using a reed switch:
Materials:
Reed switch
Magnet
Buzzer
Transistor (bc547)
47k ohm resistor
9V battery
Jumper wires
Instructions:
Connect the reed switch to the breadboard. Connect one pin of the reed switch to the base of the transistor (bc547).
Connect the emitter of the transistor to the negative leg of the buzzer and to the negative terminal of the 9V battery.
Connect the collector of the transistor to the positive leg of the buzzer and to the positive terminal of the 9V battery through a 1k ohm resistor.
Place the magnet near the reed switch so that the switch is closed (connected).
When the magnet is removed (meaning the seat belt is unbuckled), the reed switch will open and no current will flow through the transistor, so the buzzer will not sound. When the magnet is placed near the reed switch (meaning the seat belt is buckled), the switch will close and current will flow through the transistor, causing the buzzer to sound.
Note: Make sure to test the circuit to ensure that the buzzer is loud enough to be heard over road noise while driving. You may need to use a louder buzzer or add an amplifier circuit to increase the volume.
