In the Maker Shed: DrinkShield

DrinkShield
The Fourth of July is rapidly approaching and you know what that means? Fireworks and celebratory drinking! What better way to geek up your drinking than with the DrinkShield. The DrinkShield, available in the Maker Shed, is an open source breathalyzer kit that is used with an Arduino. The sensor reacts to alcohol content in your breath and can be programmed to light the attached LEDs to act as a standalone breathalyzer or hooked up to a computer for a more interactive experience. The DrinkShield is intended for fun use only and should in no way be trusted for anything important (like finding out if you are too drunk to make your own fireworks, juggle flaming tennis balls, etc.)

The Maker Shed is brought to you by Maker Media, the makers of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Faire, and much more.

Launched originally as a source for back issues of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Shed expanded rapidly to meet the demand for 'projects in a box,' otherwise known as kits. Now we have a little bit of everything for makers, crafters, and budding scientists, from Arduinos to sock monkeys to chemistry sets .
