The GPAD is based on the Arduino UNO, and can be controlled either through the serial port or via an SPI interface with an RJ12 data cable. It is modularized such that the common functionality of providing a loud, flashing alarm sound can be combined with other hardware components to expand its application, which is needed by varying project concepts (e.g., temperature controllers, hobbyist sensors, etc.). The provided repository supplies examples of the simple API used to set the alarm state, including the text message. It is powered by a 12 volt power plug (i.e., “wall wart”).

The General Purpose Alarm Device (GPAD) is a programmable alarm panel/device that makes loud noises, flashes a bright light, and provides an 80 character message when something goes wrong. It is an open source hardware and software design which is meant to be programmed by hobbyists using another microcontroller. If your Make or project needs an alarm, don’t build your own—use the GPAD or build on top of our design!
