The back door was left open for a while and another mouse ended up getting into the house, with this mouse also then being a noisy one, so this gave me the extra incentive to get the trap running again. The Arduino IR Sentinel Mousetrap was in a state of disrepair and I had to fix up the wires to get it running again, but I then found out that the servo was having a problem, so I had to swap it out with another one that I had. I then gave it a test to be sure that it was still functioning OK and set it up in its usual place. I wasn't sure what type of mouse this one would be, but it did not make any difference in the end, because it would only took about half an hour before the mouse had been caught. I have no idea how long it would have taken if I had had  to rely on the manufacturer's trap, because you can see how the mouse did ignore it in this video.
I am using a raspberry pi to capture the infra red video and I am using the raspberry pi ssh service to tunnel the video stream, from raspivid to my main pc. I am running a minimal Raspbian on the Raspberry pi and I am using an infra red camera that I bought from Ebay. The Trap is powered by an Arduino nano with nrf24l01 wireless radio, which can be used to trigger the trap remotely, but the remote trigger was not needed in this video. I am running the Arduino nano rf24 library on the microcontroller, to transfer the sensor data when I was first running it, while I was trying out the various ways to detect the mouse.
