the coolnesss that is keyless entry

There are all kinds of fancy pants keyless door locks on the market these days, but I keeps it real.

This DIY version utilizes a touch-sensitive system powered by an arduino that offers a cheap, secure and discreet method of entering a locked room. To gain access, the user must touch a wire coming out from the door in a specific sequence. So what if this thing is cheap, it’s still pretty sweet.

It would be even better if it was integrated into the doorknob itself. But apparently the problem with that was that the knob had too much surface area for the sensor. I don’t see why the entire doorknob needs to be utilized but what the hell do I know? I’m just saying that it would be even more secure if only touching a specific section would grant access.

If you wanna have at it, the complete instructions are available on the project page. Enjoy!
