The Travel Touch Alarm can be used to provide a audible alarm
when someone touches the door knob or handle of your hotel room. The door knob
or handle must be made of metal for the circuit to work. The main chip in the
circuit is a 555 timer which will be triggered if a hand comes close to or
touches the door knob. The circuit attaches to the door knob at the end of the 1
meg ohm resistor. Once the timer is triggered the LED will light and the UJT
will output a tone to the speaker. The timer will time out in 5 seconds. The sensitivity
of the trigger can be changed by changing the 1 meg ohm resistor to another
value. The 5 second time out can be adjusted by changing the value of the
resistor connected between pin 8 and pin 7. The output tone can be changed by
changing the RC values on the base of the UJT.
