*** I AM THIRTEEN. I REALLY ENJOY PUTTING TOGETHER THESE INSTRUCTABLES. PLEASE SHOW SUPPORT BY VOTING FOR ME IN THE LASER CUTTER CONTEST – http://www.instructables.com/contest/epilog3/***
I started thinking about this project a couple of months ago now. A laser tripwire that can log when the beam is broken and has the ability to take a picture when the beam is broken. Perfect for the bedroom intruder and what’s more protecting food! So I had a look around online only to find nothing. So I suppose this is why it is now released as an open source project. If you need any help with anything feel free to contact me,

Step 1: Parts that you will need
All of the parts for this project should be readily available from hardware and small electronics stores. Me, myself, living in the heart of Somerset I can pretty much guarantee they are available pretty much any where. However if you do have trouble finding the parts then a kit excluding the arduino is for sale here .
Right, Parts Needed:
1x Arduino
1 x LDR – Light diode resistor
1 x 6V Buzzer (Five volts if possible)
1 x breadboard or PCB
1 x 10k Resistors
4 x 560 ohm Resistors
3 x Leds – Preferably Red, Green and Yellow.
PLEASE IGNORE THE RESISTOR DIAGRAM BELOW. YOU ONLY REQUIRE ONE 10K RESISTOR AND INSTEAD FOUR 560 OHM RESISTORS.
Step 2: Time to get wiring
If you cannot see the images here for any reasons I have made them available here – http://www.bitline.co.uk/index.php?cID=78
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONE OF THE SCHEMATICS BELOW HAS WIRING INSTRUCTIONS ON.
Below you can see the schematics. If you have a problem reading these then, please, contact me.
1 x LDR – Light diode resistor
