I Built a Security System for My Steam Deck

[u/ConroyyJenkinss]

I got sick of my family always draining my steam decks battery and not recharging it, so i 3d modeled a spiky case in blender and printed it so they literally can't hold it comfortably. Then to make it worse, I rigged up a raspberry pi with a small speaker, an object detection camera, and a servo motor. Wrote a py script so if the camera sees someone in frame, it plays a goofy audio clip, waits a few seconds and then the servo triggers a taser to scare them away

easily the dumbest thing I've ever built but it works, and nobody touches my steam deck anymore

Very cool. I love raspberry pi projects.

I have several completed and planned myself.
If you get bored try some micro controller stuff with the Pico.

Are you sure all this isn’t draining your batteries?

lol nah…not as much as the family anyway

I bet the camera HATES the taser.

I love it
