GarageKeypad is an Arduino-controlled garage door opener. It uses a numeric keypad to enter a secret code, opening when the correct secret code is entered. Also allows you to change the password.
This project is about a year old; it’s been sitting around for a while. So far I just have the code and a working prototype (sans garage door, currently just blinking an LED when it is unlocked). I am just starting to document it online and will be posting more details soon. So stay tuned!

Welcome to my blog / website. I'll post anything I feel worth saying (the threshold isn't always high). Enjoy the sights. Maybe you'll find something interesting.
