my live squirrel trap in action

Live Squirrel trap, my own design. The door falls when the solenoid is energized and bolt is drawn in. The solenoid is wired to the collector of npn transistor and to the positive terminal of detector power. The infrared detector has an led that lights up when it detects motion. I soldered a wire from the positive lead of this led to the base of the npn transistor, when the led lights up, it pulls the base voltage to 2.5V. The emitter of the transistor is hooked up to the negative side of detector power supply.
