Snack Stealers Begone 2000 final build

https://monthly.com/u/jasper-backman-sorochan-7fc69b/mark-rober-engineering

This is my Snack Stealers Begone 2000.
I built this to prevent people from taking snacks. First, the sensor detects if  the snack cupboard door has been opened. If it has, then it sends a signal to the Arduino board which tells the buzzer to go off. It makes a loud and annoying beeping sound.
The main challenge was finding the right schematics and code.  A lot of the published codes didn't work properly, so it took a while to find the right one for my project.
I learned that finding code and understanding it is very hard because there are a ton of complicated lines of code and if one thing is wrong, the whole thing doesn't work.
The best part of this build was coloring the outside of the box to look like a candy box.


Snack Stealers Begone 2000

This is my Snack Stealers Begone 2000. The Snack Stealers Begone 2000 is a system that sets off an alarm when ever the fridge door is opened. The way it works is the ultrasonic sensor will send a signal to the  Arduino board, which will then send a signal to the passive buzzer to buzz when ever the fridge door is opened.

 

My main problem was compiling and uploading  the code which never worked once.
