A musical electronic lock
Beep, beep… Sesame
A motorised gate is jolly useful, just so long as you don’t forget the remote control or the key. Normally, the control system for this type of gate makes provision to connect a push-button for opening or closing it without needing a remote control or key. This button must not be accessible from outside, whence the need for a more complex system. The code lock suggested here lets you control up to three such gates using push-buttons after entering a valid secret code.
Materials
Gerber file
CAM/CAD data for the PCB referred to in this article is available as a Gerber file. Elektor GREEN and GOLD members can exclusively download these files for free as part of their membership. Gerber files allow a PCB to be produced on an appropriate device available locally, or through an online PCB manufacturing service.
Elektor recommends the Elektor PCB Service service from its business partner Eurocircuits or AISLER as the best services for its own prototypes and volume production.
TIP: your first PCB at AISLER is free up to €30 with using the coupon code ELCCBB at checkout.
