Hi! I'm building a home security device, and want to add a microphone to the device so the pic can detect very faint sounds... Furthermore, I'm trying to build this circuit with the cheapest possible electronics. The PIC I will use will be the 18F252. How can I detect the sound level to detect very faint sounds? - What type of inexpensive microphone should I use? (and what is a good source to purchase them?) - What simple circuit will give me the pickup I need? Many thanks for any help! Jean-Pierre -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
