RaspiTrap is an animal friendly mousetrap, with photo, video and email function.
You may ask, why somebody would build such a mousetrap?
Why not?
Details
Easy,
The mouse enters the Trap. Passes the light barrier. Raspberry detects and activates servo motor. Door closes. Now the Pi takes a Pic and sends it via IM and Mail. That's it.
What motor would you suggest for me to use?
