littleBits electronics Inc. is growing so fast that new people join every week. This is a very good thing, but it causes one small side effect: too few bathrooms for too many people. This bathroom share timer encourages you to be mindful of the time you spend in the bathroom, keeping everybody in the office happy. Circuit: power + button + timeout + pulse + buzzer + couple of LEDs. The timeout bit is set on off-on mode. When you push the button, it may seem nothing happens but the timeout bit begins counting time. After a certain amount of time (you set how long), the bathroom alarm will buzz and blink. That's how you know your time is up.
