I'm trying to do something involving a solenoid and motion sensor. My idea is to have the motion sensor set off the valve and have it fire flour. I have found some things, but they were around $30. I want something really cheap, like 5-10 bucks. please post where to get them. The ninja is just there because i've always wanted to post a ninja.

I forgot to say that I wanted the kind that sees movement, not change in light.

Nice idea, but I think 30.00 is as cheap as it gets.

How will it work though? I am not sure how you would do it. You could build a little stand from pvc, attach like a wildfire to it then attach a motion censor or even with the valve. How will it know to release the valve.

Gamefreak posted a topic about this a while back. It shows you how to do it.

It's the "MS13A Hawkeye II Motion Sensor" on this site.$18.90

I think that is as good as you will get for the price. Unless you go for one of those cheapo motion detectors for $6 through Oriental Trading Company. I don't know how well they work, but I think they are supposed to emit a sound when they detect movement. You could wire it to trip the solenoid.

I got mine from fruity pebbles (ceral) awile back.

Fruity pebbles!? Those are awsome. But anyway, thanks. It seems like a neat project to use up countless hours.
