Building a device to unlock my door through the peephole

[@treasuretotrash2067]

Cool project once again good sir. Your creativity never seizes to amaze me.

[@TomBalazs]

This is a great project!

[@gastroesophagealreflux6285]

You're a genius!

[@tmburns4]

Awesome, guys!

[@jorgetomaylla5032]

Yooo I'm about to show up to your dorm and decrypt your door code:') great project!!

[@TannerTech]

You better not Jorge...

[@KJ6EAD]

Since it's a door viewer, an iris scanner would be a natural choice. You'd just have to get the mounting and optics to look normal. While you're at it, you should include a camera to replace the lost hallway view capability. There may be such a unit available already but of course, that would turn it into simply a research and sourcing project.

[@BackMacSci]

Amazing! Makes me wanna learn arduino coding.

[@TannerTech]

Yeah, there is so much you can do with it. Good luck!

[@shadeshiest22]

Would have been a lot better if you used a cheap fingerprint scanner in the peep hole, which work amazingly well!!

[@phonotical]

Now everyone knows about it 😂 Surely there is something in the agreement of housing that prevents you altering security 😅

[@TannerTech]

Who knows haha. We changed the code right after uploading, so nobody will guess it

[@OtherDalfite]

Cool project! Surprised that the arduino has enough power to run that stepper motor all on its own

[@TannerTech]

Thank you! The arduino isn't driving the stepper itself, there is a motor driver chip next to the arduino that is driving it. If I tried to drive the stepper straight from the arduino, it might break it

[@OtherDalfite]

@@TannerTech you're correct! I misread your drawn schematic. And that was my sentiment as well seeing as how Arduino pins can only handle like 20mA maximum

[@numatechprototypes222]

tanner check out my mini fusion reactor prototype MFC. this is not a Farnsworth fusor this is a form of mini tokamak that uses one magnet for electrode protection and particle spin and uses the x-ray presser from the reaction to confine the plasma as a passive containment as the reaction increase's so does the x-rays so the core self balance's. info is in the description

[@TannerTech]

Wow! I just watched the video. Cool build!

[@oktaymercan]

Good idea but not secure.

[@TannerTech]

True, but nobody has cracked the new code yet.

[@oktaymercan]

@@TannerTech Nothing is fully secure, just nobody try works on it, but better than nothing. Need to improve and add security layer for make this more secure. Good project and good start and good idea.

[@MrFFFGGGFFF]

And you go to mit

[@wdujsub7902]

Hi tanner, i would love to take a look at the code, but when I click the link in the description it takes me to some official mit login page where I need a login.

[@TannerTech]

Hmm, I'll try and fix it

[@wdujsub7902]

@@TannerTech but another great video . Your videos since you attended MIT are on a whole new level, the quality rapidly went Up.

[@TannerTech]

Thank you so much! Check the new link in the description

I live in Australia I'm 35 years old and I've never seen snow in my entire life

[@TheTubejunky]

Have you looked inside your freezer?

[@supercritical5582]

@@TheTubejunky yeah I have but I thought that was ice. actually I'm a little bit sceptical that snow is actually a real thing. I will believe it when I see it

Go to the australian alps
