Next time we’ll show you how to make the permanent version of the keypad, walk through the code for the Arduino, make the PC board, cut a custom wall plate, and install the lock strike.

Perhaps you could create an Arduino device to lean on the door right before the Arduino device bolts the door. It's not clear if the lock unlocks the door when you close that incognito browser.

Arduino enthusiasts may be interested in a new gesture controlled Arduino door lock which has been created by Adham Negm and uses an Arduino Uno together with a servo motor to slide the bolt back ...

By using open-source Arduino tools, security researchers are exposing security gaps in door-lock systems used by millions of hotels.

He has fashioned an Arduino-powered door bolt that locks itself whenever you open an incognito browser window. Always nice when a computer gives you a helping hand.

Interestingly, open source has come to mean that the doors from idea to prototype to production are also now flung wide open. The story of Arduino is a great example.

If you're sick of using your boring old keys to unlock your door, Make has a guide for using and Arduino to power a lock that you can control with your smartphone.

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating ...

Open the Arduino software and paste the Arduino code (the text in the box near the bottom of the post) into a new sketch. Click Sketch > Verify / Compile to make sure the code is properly in there.

The Arduino is a type of open source hardware that we covered in The Atlantic in January. "Using an Arduino is fairly straightforward: buy a board (ranging from about $19 to $65) and attach it to ...
