Awesome! Just finished building a gate inspired by your example. Was a newbie to Arduino but with the example code and a bit of chatGPT in turned out just fine. Thanks!

[@professorboots]

That’s awesome to hear!

Great job! Just came back here to start the 3d print, keep it up!

[@professorboots]

Thank you, I hope you're able to get some use out of it!

[@sarahmiller9188]

Perfect thanks!

Keep it up man

I was looking for a simple gate and this thing is actually even better than what I was thinking of. did you find using only 1 ultrasonic sensor doesn't give good enough coverage?

[@professorboots]

you’re going to love the video that’s coming out on Sunday I completely re-designed the racing gate and added a ton of features. Also yes only having one ultrasonic sensor has some limitations in terms of sensing the drone go through, good to hear you liked it!

[@Harel-DIY]

Definitely going to hold off the build until Sunday than!

[@professorboots]

I’m excited to hear what you think of it!
