Geocache Description:


This is an electronic geocache powered by an Arduino UNO microcontroller.  (If you don’t know what Arduino is, you can find more information at this website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Introduction)

This geocache is part of a series of caches involving microcontrollers.  A microcontroller is basically a small computer that is programmable and it can interact with circuits.

Your goal: Open the combination lock and sign the log.

Your challenge: Figuring out the combination of the lock from what the Arduino is telling you. (hint, you will need a TOTT. See title.) =D

You will need to bring a 9 volt battery to the cache site to power the Arduino.

Figuring out the combination could take less than a minute… or it could take more than an hour.  It depends.

Have fun!

There is a combination lock on the outside of the ammo can for a muggle barrier. The code is: 17-19-33. 

The only lock that will get you to the log is the 3-digit combination lock inside the ammo can. Please do not try to open the other locks.

There is a prize for the FTF in the log container.
