To Catch Some Mice Part 10 - MI5 Mouse Agent 2 vs The MPZ IR Mouse Trap
In this video I am dealing with a mouse that just seemed to appear out of nowhere. Unlike noisy mouse, it did not seem to have any quarrels with the other agent mouse and it was also just as quiet as the previous mouse, so that is why I called it Agent 2. One thing that I will say about this second MI5 mouse is that it was very determined to escape and it even managed to remove a few layers of the cardboard, that I had used to cover the bottom of the trap.
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.
