Step 5Step 8 More info on the structure
I used an old tripod for the base, but you could use anything that would hold the parts. I later added Mom's leg weights since our cats could pull over the tripod.
You just have to play around with this, so it is a good idea to keep the arms and height of the invention adjustable.
In the picture, the fur on a string is on one arm of the unit and the motion sensor is on the other.
When the cat goes by, the motion sensor starts moving the toy. While the cat plays, the motion sensor keeps sensing the cat to move the toy. When the cat leaves, the motion sensor stops moving the toy.
After I mounted the parts, I played around with a box around the motion sensor and moved the motion sensor arm around to see where it worked the best to allow the cat to keep the motion sensor working while the cat was still playing.
My motion sensor covers a pretty large radius but yours may be smaller.
