>3 or 4 more videos on gadget caching As much as I want to tell you to take your time, I also want to see what else you have in store for us! Glad to see this video pop up in my feed and while I am a butterfingers when it comes to tools and construction, I enjoy your videos immensely.
Very nice. I have forwarded your video to my two skilled and creative friends, so I hope to see this mechanism in a few geocaches soon. Thanks for sharing.
Hi my friend, now I understand why you wanted me to integrate a servo to our joint cache. That construction is exiting, because so simple. I'm nosy to see it integrated into our Crazy Potis (US naming: Tims Crazy Knobs) cache!
Lol! I love your cat! hahah, thansk for sharing all this amazing caches! Actually I copied one of yours to put it in my country. All who goes say it is amazing. THANKS!!
Container is something like this........ www.amazon.com/dp/B01CO42XXQ/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01CO42XXQ&pd_rd_wg=wGzq6&pd_rd_r=NQMHWY2D1G4GEZ23FCBK&pd_rd_w=pSaKD
Hi 😊 thanks for the ideas... Could you send me the link in Amazon from the metal-thing in the Video? The plastic-thing i found 😅 greets from germany Chris
Very nice to see a new videos from you. And its again an idea I can definitely use. I already built the "Eat Mor Chickin" and the "The Key is the Key". Another one, which is designed by me is under construction - but here in Germany I have the problem, that people, even well experienced Cacher just want a quick and easy find, so they are not careful enough. My version of "The Key is the Key" was even stolen... and it was chained to a tree. So i keep building, but I don't know, where to place them :D Thanks for the great concepts! I hope to see the "three or four Videos" that are on the computer, very soon. ;) How do you call the white plastic part?
Thanks Thomas, good to see your building. Nothing so depressing as to have your cache stolen. I place mine where there are very public. I find that caches hidden have a higher chance of vandalism. I work with the property owner and they many times they take ownership of the cache and "watch out for it". White plastic .... its a plastic pipe. Here in the states we call it PVC pipe. Used to carry water or other liquids.
Oh, I didn't mean the pipe. Of course I know what a pipe is, but I did mean the little plastic hook. Looks like a kitchen door locking system? The cache was officially granted by the property owner, but it was still in a forest. I am thinking about to ask the local branch of McDonalds to place the cache there. :D We will see. And by the way I am so jealous of your workshop. :O ;)
Sorry about that. Here is a link on Amazon www.amazon.com/Spring-Loaded-Cabinet-Drawer-Latch/dp/B0031Y146G/ref=sr_1_6_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1487183472&sr=1-6&keywords=child+proof+cabinet+latches
I have been hesitant because I don't want to to mislead anyone that they are easy to build. Understanding the programing (C++) necessary to program a micro processor is fairly complex. I might try to show one for illustrative purposes.
Yes, just connect a small servo to your Raspberry pi. Program your servo to turn 90degrees and return. Place your servo under the metal tab you see in this video. The servo will easily release this container. Now you just need to decide what you want the cacher to do to release the container. Sky is the limit.
Here is a link to the cabinet latch in this video. Amazon www.amazon.com/Spring-Loaded-Cabinet-Drawer-Latch/dp/B0031Y146G/ref=sr_1_6_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1487183472&sr=1-6&keywords=child+proof+cabinet+latches
you could makean affiliate n amazon shopping list and make a few bucks from people shopping when they follow your link! I'm having difficulty finding those vials, but I know what they are! Those are the blanks that they inflate to make 2L bottles!
Your CAT just wants to be a You Tube star, I give him a "like".
When I'm outside that cat follows me around like a dog. I have 2 barn cats, but this one is always around.
Such a great little mechanism - I love how easy it is to replace!
I might try making a 3d printed model of this
This is a great pre-form tube release mechanism. I will definitely be using this in my next gadget cache. Thanks, Tim.
Love your car. Thank you for all the ideas
Lol your cat makes my day 🤣 it’s like mine trying to eat the log sheets I print as they come out the printer.
Thanks for the video!
Hello from the lady that saw you in Seattle! You'll remember me because we compared ages and we were the same age! Morristhecat (from MN)

Cool technique. Love your CG-fan-cat...
Just used this on a cache, but I made the "cabinet latch part" out of soda cans, and it works great!
Thank you, this was exactly what I was looking for!
Love the idea!! can you provide a link to the vial you use? The ones I have found don't have the lip needed for the latch to grab on to
Lol! I love your cat! hahah, thansk for sharing all this amazing caches!
Actually I copied one of yours to put it in my country. All who goes say it is amazing. THANKS!!
Thank you. The cat lives in the barn where I filmed this, she thinks she owns the place. : )
Yay, another WVT video!
Thnx again Tim !!
this is so cool, thanks. the kitty had me cracking up...he's trying to steal the spotlight haha
Great but the true star of the show is that gorgeous cat❤️
great idea!😉
Anyone know what the size toggle bolts are used 2in or 3 in size??
Any part #s or search terms to help me find the right parts on Amazon? Particularly the cache container
Container is something like this........ www.amazon.com/dp/B01CO42XXQ/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01CO42XXQ&pd_rd_wg=wGzq6&pd_rd_r=NQMHWY2D1G4GEZ23FCBK&pd_rd_w=pSaKD
Thanks, I found some pre-firms that should work and I think I found the right cabinet latch.
How easy is it to release it the "wrong way" by poking a stick or some such up the pipe at the latch?
Appears pushing a stick or your finger can NOT dislodge it at all. Latch has to be released.
love your kitty tim
hi have you a link to the vials, or sixe info please?
What is the metal hinge called? I can't find anything resembling it on the web.
It's the toggle section of a standard toggle bolt!
Hi 😊 thanks for the ideas... Could you send me the link in Amazon from the metal-thing in the Video? The plastic-thing i found 😅 greets from germany

Hey, dass versuche ich grade auch herauszufinden^^

You should start a store where you can buy the supply to make caches you'd probably make a lot of money. 😄
Can you show us some smart caches

gadgetcaches Yeah I have a raspberry pi could I use one for a geocache?
Yes, just connect a small servo to your Raspberry pi. Program your servo to turn 90degrees and return. Place your servo under the metal tab you see in this video. The servo will easily release this container. Now you just need to decide what you want the cacher to do to release the container. Sky is the limit.
gadgetcaches How much are they? And where can you get them from?
GCHarribo, sorry, how much is what? This channel gives you ideas, you take these ideas to make some interesting geocaches.

Geo-cat!

They are called bottle preforms, and you can buy them off sites like ebay,
