Road Block

If your arduino board is powered on but your scanner or lock isn’t functioning as it should then the most probable answer is because your power source isn’t strong enough to operate it. Another highly probable issue can be because of your wires not being tighten enough or your code is being properly uploaded from the computer you’re using!

Recommendations

  • Use a soldering iron to modify or fix any 3d printing mistakes or artifacts.
  • Get a reliable power source that can effectively supply both the arduino and solenoid lock. You want something that can supply around 12 volts and around 1-2 amps.
  • If you hit a roadblock and get stuck test to see in what situations your project is working and in what situations its not working. You can use the differences of these scenarios to hopefully find a solution. (lack of amps/friction example)
