[Shop-talk] Automatic driveway gates

[Pat Horne]

No, I have to open my gate manually but may consider adding this control later. 

I hope to start designing the Arduino circuitry soon.

Interesting idea, Pat.  Do you already have an automatic gate?

It acts like the keyless entry systems that modern vehicles have. You just walk up, or in your case, drive up & the gate opens. No button press required. When your phone is out of range the gate closes (if you program the Arduino to behave like that).
