We’ve got all the components -- arduino, code to put everything into action, servo motor to trigger the aerosol, LEDs and alarm, infrared sensor and remote, batteries to charge it all up, wood and transparent plastic to house it all, and a guitar kapo to attach the device to the treasured item -- now it’s just a matter of putting it all together!
We discussed a variety of different ways to encase the hardware, and decided to go with a simple cubic/beveled cubic shape, half natural wood and half clear plastic. When testing the power of the infrared remote, we found that in order to arm the device, some part of the case would have to be transparent. The idea of an entirely see-through case wasn’t all that appealing to either of us, and we wanted it to maintain an air of mystery, so we decided to house the aerosol can and servo in a wood compartment.
