first of all, you need the [[Adafruit FX Audio Board (with amplifiers)]][http://floris.cc/shop/en/breakout-boards/1202-adafruit-audio-fx-sound-board-2x2w-amp-wavogg-trigger-2mb.html] 2 or 16 MB, a button, battery pack and a bunch of speakers.

My circuit is quite easy, but you don't have to unnecessarily make things complicated if there is an easy way. The Digital Crafts assignment is supposed to support my Graphic Design assignment, in which I came up with fake emergency alarms for the staircases in de Rotterdamse Dakendagen. The materials I needed to realise the project were an audioboard to play a sound, amplifiers, speakers, a button and a battery pack.

A note on the triggers: when naming them and putting them on the board, be sure to name them properly (T01, T02, etc). Case sensitive! Check out the Adafruit Guides for more info [https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-audio-fx-sound-board/overview]
Again, the circuit is quite easy. I bought 3 Adafruit Audio FX boards with amplifiers attached to them. From there I simply connected the GND and PWR to the battery pack, which I had to modify because the board could only take 5.5 volts.

Throughout the Digital Crafts course I have designed and developed a few fake emergency alarms for the Rotterdamse Daken Dagen that produce meditation sounds when pressed. They are installed in the staircase and guide you up the roof so that you can escape the noise from down below and transcend to a higher state of being. I'll share with you the amazing secrets on how to create a fake emergency alarm, so that you can do similar projects that require audio and a trigger. It's actually a fairly easy circuit.

first of all, you need the Adafruit FX Audio Board (with amplifiers)[1] 2 or 16 MB, a button, battery pack and a bunch of speakers. Now follow this easy infographic on how to set it up, and voila!
