I am planning to build an automatic gate opener using an Arduino UNO . I think it can be done using that .
I plan to use a DC motor(2 phase ) which will be connected via a ac-dc adapter to the main power source. I intend to use a driver motor and implement a program in arduino in which my motor will go clockwise 10 seconds let's say and 10 secs anticlockwise (open the gate/close the gate) .
I plan to connect to arduino uno also a set of sensors : 2 signaling lamps ,a set of fotocells in case of obstacles-to stop in case of emergency - this also should be implemented in the program , and a transmiting/receiving unit -this is for the remote that opens and closes the gate .
What kind of advices can you provide me? It can be done this ?
I must say that i don't have plenty experience but i''m eager to learn and perfectionate myself .
Cheers!!! ( please don't be harsh )
