Project Description Heading link

we’ve come up with an innovative project to give the classic trap a 21st-century upgrade. Our smart mouse trap, a creative combo of a servo motor, an LED, and a sensor, all working together to make rodent-catching smarter and kinder. We’ve got a wooden board fitted with a servo motor that takes care of the door, but it only closes when our proximity sensor senses a mouse nearby. And to make things even cooler, we’ve added an LED that lights up when the trap’s engaged, so you’ll know when you’ve got a mouse inside. The proximity sensor is the brain of the operation, while the servo motor and LED are the hands-on doers. And just so you know, we’re open to adding more inputs and outputs as we go along, making this trap the best it can be. So, with our clever sensor-driven, servo-controlled design, we’re aiming to put a fresh spin on an age-old problem, making mouse control more efficient and humane.
