Hey guys so my ideas are outpacing my knowledge, I could use some advice.
Question one don’t know if this is possible or not, I was thinking of using a v1 access controller but making a bigger antenna, we scrap a ton of magnet wire at my job and a think I can ask for some without a problem. I just don’t know how hard it would be to tune it or if it would be possible to give it something like a 2 foot read range. If not I’ll probably try a pressure switch or sensor. RFID would just be cooler.
Second I have a lift motor from a treadmill that would work well for this although I don’t know if I need a longer lead screw, anyway it has some kind of sensor built in to read the position but I don’t know what kind of sensor it is or how it reads position.
I’m using a pi zero wh, and in my head it makes sense that I should be able to have the pi read the info from that sensor to open the door a set amount but in reality I have no idea. Any advice or resources would be really great. TIA
