So I made a panel with snap circuits and hooked up alarms to it

Not bad. But you could use some better alarms tho ngl. The fake Spectralerts are not even UL listed and are actually pretty terrible quality in my opinion. But given the fire alarm price inflation that’s been happening as of late (especially on rarer devices), I understand your case.
Tell you what, I, chairman of TAFATP, will be hosting a giveaway later on next year or something (when I get all the alarms that they’re taking out of my college campus’s buildings if they ever stop coming lol), and I am willing to give you any device from that giveaway for free. Although the giveaway won’t be happening yet. But when it happens, it will be public.
Trust me, I have seen those prices and they’re outrageous. You actually did a good job wiring everything up too. I wish you luck in the community.
And some advice on getting alarms, you can always ask maintenance men of buildings that are removing their systems and get free stuff. It works for me ngl.
Use a motor and a metal bowl as a bell.
Have you seen system test 2 and 3? That time I use something else.
Just now seen that you have a Simplex TrueAlert Ceiling Speaker Strobe. That’s pretty darn cool!
What are the devices at your college?

I’m working my way up the 1986-87 Simplex Life-Alarm 2001 system in my college’s TECH Building. Meanwhile I’m getting free stuff left and right from all these other buildings owned by WSCC.
There’s more where that came from, check it out!

I also have a Real Spectralert Classic Speaker/strobe and a custom 3D printed alarm with a Dover Buzzer and a LED. Those are going to be in future system tests when I have time to make them.
