My friend just bought a new car and the car alarm siren sounds like a chicken quacking when chirping (lock and unlock chirps). What he is wanting is something where he can press one of his option buttons and his car alarm siren pulses about twice per second or so for like 30 seconds, or even if you have to push the button again to turn it off that will be fine. I know this will be alot more than just a relay.
I was thing like an ic chip or something, but thse only operate on like 5 volts.
Thanks

hmmm, i dont understand. Do you want it you just chirp each second for 30 seconds then stop or a few times a second or something? If so that wouldent be all that difficult.

Yes, I want it to chirp a couple times a second for 30 seconds. Maybe a a variable resistor to make it chird slower or faaster.

is the option output a low or a high pulse?

This *should* work in theory. After recieving a signal from the option input, it will pulse the output high for .1 sec, low for .4 seconds and keep doing so for about 30 seconds. The timing intervals can be changed by changing R4 and R5, if you would like a variable rate i would suggest a potentiometer (like a 0-10K) in series with a 100K resistor for R4. Also the value of R1 will determin how long the output keeps pulsing (the higher R1 is the longer). The output i would assume you want to hook to a relay. Remember this will only give you pulsing DC, so if the siren requires an AC driver it wont really work. Also i take no responsibility for this thing if it destroys the alarm and/or car, use this at your will. If you want i can write a description of how the circuit works.

Also, this is not the best or most reliable circuit, but it is the most simple way of doing it i could think of.

oops i ment to say "if you would like a variable rate i would suggest a potentiometer (like a 0-10K) in series with a 1K resistor for R4."

wait i messed up the transistor at the end, in that circuit when the circuit is off, the siren will always sound, not good, here is a better setup, notice it is a negative output though. no problem really, i also put a relay in to show how it would be hooked up. Note that is and NPN transistor at the far left and a PNP in the middle.
