Story
Once I was locking the main door of my house and going to attend a function, I was irritated by doing this all the time I enter and leave my house so......I thought how nice will it be if I am able to lock/unlock the door only with a single touch, so I started thinking the easiest way of doing that then I ended up thinking on Arduino.
It just took me 10 minutes to think and design the mechanism need to operate the system.
Quickly I moved to coding all this stuff and after certain measurements and tries, I got the correct timing required to fully open and close the latch.then I made a simple android using mit app Inventor which sends character commands to the Arduino via Bluetooth to operate the motor.
Then I assembled all the stuff into a single device, and it's all good to go!!
You can see the YouTube video of my project which shows the working of it here!!
