@jchamber4 I believe I was just simply changing the battery connections in
this video. My other video shows the completed project. I am using an
Arduino microcontroller that monitors the two magnetic switches to
determine when the door gets to the open or closed position. Based on the
time of day and position of the door, the arduino i/o is used to control a
motor controller that runs the motor in the forward or reverse direction to
open or close the door.

Nicely done – as an engineering student, I appreciate the simplicity of the
design Quick question – how did you get the Eglu product in the states
(or Canada)? I checked their website and it seems like they don’t ship
outside of the UK :’(
