Arduino Mystery Box

Learn how to create your own Mystery Box, that will open only by interacting with the three inputs.

Hello!

This is a tutorial for beginners, that will help you create a "Mystery Box" that will only open after using all three inputs (HC-SR04 Ultrasound sensor, Photoresistor, and an NTC Thermistor).

This is a fun 4-step Mystery Box that you make at home, to entertain your friends or family.

You would have to interact with the three inputs of the Arduino in order to open the lock.

The SG90 Servo will only open when all 4 steps are completed.

    Hello!

    This is a tutorial for beginners, that will help you create a "Mystery Box" that will only open after using all three inputs (HC-SR04 Ultrasound sensor, Photoresistor, and an NTC Thermistor).

    Step 2

    After gathering all needed items, you can wire them like I did in this Fritzing Diagram:

    For the NTC Thermistor I used a 10k resistor.

    For the Photoresistor I used a 5k resistor.

    You can use regular 220 ohm resistors for the LEDs.

    Step 3

    You can position the "sensors" how you'd like it the most in the box, but for me, this was the most easy and effective way.
