Inspiration

Sometimes, our roommates try to take our food, so we want some sort of protection for it.

What it does

With a secret clap password, only you can get into your pantry, successfully protecting your food from anyone trying to get in.

How we built it

Using a sound sensor, an arduino, and a motor, the sensor detects a specific pattern and activates a motor to unlock a pantry.

Challenges we ran into

brooo so many. soooo many. we went through around 7 different project designs before deciding to land on this one. although this project design and execution was pretty simple, the other designs were not as such. Scope creeps and pipe dreams plagued our week-of-hardware until we decided to lock in on ol' faithful.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're thankful to have gained experience with a variety of arduino parts and learned how to deal with electrical voltage projects. ## What we learned

What's next for Pantry Protector

Making it more robust/not with popsicle sticks.
