IoTrap ESP8266 non lethal mouse trap with Telegram Bot

thingiverse

This is a highly effective mouse trap utilizing an ESP8266, a 9g servo motor, and affordable IR proximity sensors. https://youtu.be/LKYkqCoLVBI What's more, it works incredibly well. I've successfully eliminated all the mice in my house, around eight of them within a month. I released them into the nearby forest instead of killing them, as I couldn't bring myself to do so. Simply adding some chocolate to the trap worked best for me. This particular design includes a Telegram Bot that notifies you when something gets trapped inside the box. It also comes with various commands that you can discover by typing "/help". There's no need for support since all parts are easy to print. You'll find the Arduino code here: https://github.com/KipK/IoTrap To assemble this project, you will need: 1. A 9g servo motor 2. An ESP8266 module 3. A push button (optional) with a 7.7mm diameter hole, similar to the one available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Thread-Momentary-Stainless-Button-Switch/dp/B00CQMM2EC 4. An IR proximity sensor like the TCRT5000 Infrared Reflective Switch IR Barrier Line Track Sensor Module available on Banggood at https://www.banggood.com/TCRT5000-Infrared-Reflective-Switch-IR-Barrier-Line-Track-Sensor-Module-p-1038443.html 5. Four 2mm screws
