Thank you so much for sharing. Between your details and Mikal Hart’s I was able to put together a similar box which I titled the “Proposal Box”. Of course I used it to propose to my now soon to be wife. It could not have turned out any better! I’m already thinking about doing this with yet another adventure. Thanks again for sharing your hard work.

That’s a good idea about the hinges, Jay, please let me know how it works out.

Yes, any Arduino-compatible board should work. I used up nearly all the digital I/O pins on the Duemilanove, though, so you might want to be careful about that. Altogether I think I used up about 50% of the available program space.

Any arduino compatible boards should work; it doesn’t have to be the Duemilanove. Even the ones based on the Atmel168, like the Diecimila, right?

Also, I’m thinking I will use reverse spring hinges (if I can find a supplier) with a string connected to a stepper motor. This way when access is granted the motor turns, letting the string out and the lid slowly opens on its own.

Hi, Jeff,

Whoops, thanks for pointing that out. I’ve updated the parts list. The GPS component is an EM406A. Yeah, I think the total cost was somewhere between $200-$300.
