I asked a couple of months ago for help, on another electronics forum, about possibilities for electronics for a Charity collection box idea. I was encouraged to look into Arduino. I bought an Arduino Uno start up kit for me, and one for my grandson, so we could have some fun, and learn together. We are having fun, but it is a steep learning curve for me, and I am not going to be proficient enough to get the initial job done in time. Is there anyone willing to help me with the project please? My idea is an infra-red detector inside the collection box, which triggers a light in a series, and a 'bell' sound, which increase if another donation follows quickly. I have the basic hardware, but knowing which transistors or capacitors to use is beyond my skills at the moment, and then there is the coding!
