Do you ever get annoyed when people borrow things from your room without asking? Worry no more, in this episode we will show you how to create an alarm for your room using your BBC micro:bit.

If you are looking for the parts we used in this video check out:

two crocodile clips amzn.to/2beTG2y
A buzzer to make the sound amzn.to/2b5ANk7

And of course a microbit if you don't already have one: amzn.to/2aJrWGF

Thanks tp Proto-Pic www.proto-pic.co.uk/ for their excellent exhi:bit Prototyping system for micro:bit that we used in this video.

Hi, tank you for creating this video. As a beginner I am having trouble at the end when you use the adapter. Do you have advice to rigging it up without the adapter. Also, do you have another vid to explain using different codes to set the alarm? Lastly, do you have a vid on combining the visual alarm, too? Cheers

Hey man, love these vids. Quick question: do you know anywhere I can buy individual accessories in bulk? I'd like to just buy a job lot of buzzers or leds or wires etc. Thanks in advance.

Hi we were wondering on what to use instead of the exhi:bit Prototyping system for micro:bit because we weren’t able to buy.
