Cyber Mouse

The Cyber Mouse is an innovative product that can be used to entertain cats and kids. This mouse on four wheels can navigate throughout the house on its own using infrared sensors and code from the arduino. It is the perfect toy for a cat because the toy resembles a mouse and cats love chasing mice therefore they would love the toy. The product also has a mouse tail at the end to keep the cat entertained. For those who do not want the CyberMouse to navigate on it's own they can control the moving mouse using an app on their phone to move the toy backwards, forward, left, and right.

- Cardboard

- Hot Glue Gun

- Yarn

- Car with motors

- Wires

- Transistors

- Infrared Sensors

- Infrared Remote

- 9V Battery

- Arduino

- Bluetooth Module

- Bread Board

- Smartphone (Android)

- Paint (

First, ensure you have enough cardboard for your base car with motors and wheels. Paint the cardboard grey by mixing black and white paint equally to create grey paint. After that cut the cardboard so it is the same length as your base but a little bit wider than your base in order to fold up the cardboard and make a cylinder shape. Once that is done using your glue gun glue this piece to your base. After that make the hood piece to your desired length in a triangular shape in order to resemble a mouse's nose. For the trunk, glue a piece to the rear end of the body creating a hinge type of contraption in which you can use to open and close the body. You can put the circuit inside of the mouse opening the door from the back so that the product can look organized. Glue the front hood on to the front of the base and add extra details such as eyes and a nose to the hood piece to make it more realistic. We also added a tail at the end of it so that the cat can be more attracted to the toy

Supplies needed for this step:

-Cardboard

- Hot Glue Gun

- Yarn

- Car with motors

- Paint (White & Black)

Copy the circuit above and connect it to your "cyber mouse's" motors, and place the circuit inside the mouse using the "door" at the back of the toy.

Copy this code into arduino:

#include

IRrecv receiver (remoteInputPin); decode_results results;

int motorD = 8; int motorS = 9; const int irReceiverPin = 2; const int ledPin = 13; const int irReceiverPin = 2; IRrecv irrecv(irReceiverPin); //create an IRrecv object decode_results decodedSignal; //stores results from IR sensor

void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: Serial.begin (9600); receiver.enableIRIn ();

pinMode (motorD, OUTPUT); pinMode (motorS, OUTPUT); } boolean lightState = false; //keep track of whether the LED is on unsigned long last = millis(); //remember when we last received an IRmessage void loop() {if (irrecv.decode(&decodedSignal) == true) //this is true if a message has been received

{ if (millis() - last > 250) { //has it been 1/4 sec since last message digitalWrite (motorD, HIGH); digitalWrite (motorS, HIGH); } last = millis(); irrecv.resume(); // watch out for another message } }
