[sdiy] Kraakdoos

 >apologize for not having dealt with the Cracklebox PCB thing I asked  
people

No problem Raphael, the circuit it's so simple that even me (pretty  
close to useless =:) was able to build it in test board. It's a great  
instrument. Built in one hour.
This summer a big cricket came flying and landed in my crackle box,  
very interested in it!
Many birds were answering too, sort of trying to help a forener.
And I did all sort of experiments using stones, huge screws, water,  
clay...
I have pictures and video from my unit, but no web space yet.

BTW, I used this schematic

but incorporated the 7th sensor and 100n for C4 from yours
