Hi! I am a newbie on this programming device and need some help from you guys.. Sincerely thanks in advance.
Right now, I intend to use the Arduino Duemilanove to do a auto gate system. Therefore, can someone give me some input on what gauge that i should need? which mean which type of Arduino shield and any other part that i should have to make my project success. Also with minimum cost as possible.
Some requirement below but not necessary to follow:
1) 12V system
2) remote control unit
3) with safety protection
Below are some function that i can think of:
- When i press "A" button of the key chain signal transmitter, the receiver unit will detect the signal and open one door (right side only).
- When i press "B" button of the key chain signal transmitter, the receiver unit will detect the signal and open both door (left side and right side).
- When i press "A" button of the key chain signal transmitter, the receiver unit will detect the signal and open one door (right side only). During the half way through, when "A" button of the key chain signal transmitter press again, it will stop the door which is opening. or when the opening door that hit on some object, it will stop half way through (safety protection).
- After the door is opened, then when i press any button it will close back.
It is mainly use for controlling the outdoor gate system...
I am appreciate for your comment and input. Thank you very much.
