Electronic Whoopie Cushion Deux

The Electronic Whoopie Cushion Deux is the follow-up to an earlier electronic version of the whopie cushion gag. This version uses an MC33794 e-field sensor IC, a specially designed seat cushion sensor, and an MC68HC908QY4 microcontroller to sense when someone sits down or gets up from a chair. When the presence of a person is sensed, the device plays a prerecorded sound.
