video Arduino controlled Fox-Away
After having trouble with foxes scavenging my bins and crapping all over my patio I decided enough was enough and i was going to make something to scare the foxes away.
Using a parallax IR sensor, an Arduino microprocessor board and a servo, I built this device that does the job.

I've been looking for someone to help me with a similar type of project.
I got a duemilanove, a heat sensor array, switch, wires, breadboard...and am trying to get a small motor to turn on when an object with a temperature of 85-95 degrees F is within range.
Now that I have the parts, I am having trouble finding out just how to put them together and am afraid of frying it by experimenting.
Your fox-away is the closest I have come to finding an similar set up.
Would you consider helping a total arduino newbie to figure it out?
