Hi everyone!
This is my first Arduino project!
I made a Reverse Geocache (imagined by Mikal Hart), as a cool way to give my father is birthday gift!
I used an Arduino Nano, Sensor shield, Ultimate GPS (adafruit), servo, LCD, buzzer, some wood.
This is a box locked from the inside, that unlock only when you have reached all the setpoint (GPS coordinate).
Code is attached
First box idea:
Conception with SolidWorks:
Cutting the wood pieces:
Schematic (Some improvement have been made, e.g. : buzzer)
Prototyping:
Latch mecanism:
Wooden rod that lock the lid
Electronic :
The lid:
Final box:
My father after the first step!
Possible improvement :
Code optimization, hide screw, make a smaller box...
What do you think of this project?

Awesome gift .

You're right, at first I didn't know how big will be the gift to put inside, so I build something really big! If I had to rebuild one, a would do a box half this size or less. The wooden rod have to be quite strong so the box can't be very very small.

Thanks!
Hey! Some news :
One of the step was in the middle of a big lake! So my father took the boat we had build years ago and send me these photo !
