ESTEFANNIE’S LASER COOKIES GUIDE

For those of you wanting to try your hand at building your own Cookie Jar Laser Surveillance Security System, Estefannie has provided a complete guide to talk you through it. Here she goes:

First off, you’ll need:

• 10 lasers

• 10 photoresistors

• 10 capacitors

• 1 Raspberry Pi Zero W

• 1 buzzer

• 1 Raspberry Pi Camera Module

• 12 ft PVC pipes + 4 corners

• 1 acrylic panel

• 1 battery pack

• 8 zip ties

• tons of cookies

I used the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s Laser trip wire and the Tweeting Babbage resources to get one laser working and to set up the camera and Twitter API. This took me less than an hour, and it was easy, breezy, beautiful, Raspberry Pi.
