Monkey business

I have a garden with amazing flowers but these god damn monkeys are eating them. I want to build a repellant where if it can see a moving monkey, it will light up and make noise (best case-> shoot water out or make something that it moves. )
I am a total arduino noob with some programming skills and I was wondering if there is any short of guide to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
thank you.

Split from an unrelated topic in the wrong forum section and moved here

What made you think that is had anything to do with the Website and Forum ?

Image processing is not Arduino territory. I would try a Raspberry Pi.

Will a monkey trigger an ordinary PIR?

There must be loads of projects using those to deter pests.

How will a PIR differentiate between a monkey and a human? OP is happily working in his/her garden and next moment gets soaked with water :slight_smile:

I wrote "pests" - they could be human or simian.

Monkey-proof cage around the garden.

Try some of thse

Pictures or it didn't happen. Actually, I believe you, I just want to see monkeys eating flowers.
