ayo thanks man, helped alot i was not sure how to do certain things that i wanted to do while making my escape room. this helped me find a solution thanks!!
Hi Im trying to make an escape room prop and im super new to Arduino. Ive followed your steps to this build and it works perfectly, however, I want to add a step motor into the mix and I need for it to move a few steps each time the player puts the wrong sequence in. If they get the sequence right, then the motor needs to reverse back to its starting position. Are you able to help? thank you Sean
I would love to start learning how to program Arduinos and such, but when I look on amazon for starter kits and such, I get so overwhelmed. I'm a complete beginner. Do you have a starter kit you recommend?
This is a good puzzle, but has a flaw if you have a five button puzzle that's holding a mag lock and you hold all of the buttons down at once and release them , it trips the mag lock.
Hey man! So I'm trying to figure out the best way to have a puzzle like the following: I want to have a video clip playing on a monitor or projector, and once the correct series of buttons is pressed, it fire another video clip (I'm creating a Star Wars themed escape room, so it'll be a star field as the first clip, and second clip is going into hyperspace, so maybe an arduino could send a signal to press a virtual "button" on the computer in order to fire the next clip?)
Arduinos are not powerful enough, in themselves, to play video files. But, the way I'd do this is to have the Arduino trigger a signal to a Node-RED instance running on a PC, and have *that* control your videoclips (together with any other lighting/sound effects in your room, room countdown control etc.)
@@PlayfulTechnology Thanks for the idea! I'll have to research how to accomplish that. And hey, if you were to make a video on how to set that kind of sequence up, that would be amazing 😂 haha
I haven't done that exact tutorial, but it's basically a combination of the MQTT triggers demonstrated in the dice or lap counter projects (which update a static image in Node-RED) and the video timer project: th-cam.com/video/O4vFHlcNq4o/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/B3uhRZ0KURE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/3jm2uED1wlg/w-d-xo.html

Can this setup be used with capacitive touch sensors ?
Is there a way to power both the Maglock and Arduino using just one power source to cut down on the amount of plug outlet points needed?

What in the sequence would need to be changed if the buttons needed to be pressed and held to solve the puzzle?

I'm new to creating escape room puzzles, beginning woodworker also, have joined patron and been to your page but can't find this one?? Help?l
May I ask why you use a full sized Uno, when a Nano would work just as well and be a lot smaller

can you share the download links to code and wire diagram I don't see the links
Hi! These are now available on my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/playfultech
Been to that link and scrolled down to the entry of the above video. I do not see any code listed. Is it somewhere else?
How many puzzles can you power with 1 power source?
