My girlfriend likes to visit me while I'm working in the garage, but today she got mad at me cuz I locked her out on accident. So, she asked me to do this. You want me to let you know every time I lock the door? Yeah. Okay. And because I'm a good boyfriend, yeah, I'm going to build a device that sends her a DM every time the door gets locked. The key is going to be this little potentiometer.
Its resistance changes when you turn the knob. So, if we connect it to the lock, then we can read a voltage off it. You see the vision, right? You see where I'm going with this? [ __ ] that light. Instead, we're going to use a microcontroller to read the voltage. Also, I still need that light. And 100 lines of code and some hot glue later, it's done. and looks super good.
It's exactly what my girlfriend asked for. Let's test it out. Lily, I'm going to leave this here. Okay. Okay. Mike, are you serious? You made an app just to walk the garage. Come on. Come on. Check it out. How does this work? Isn't that awesome? You're so petty. No. No. It's everything I wanted, right? That's what you wanted, right? This is really easier than you just messaged me. It's everything you wanted to fix all the problems. I just asked you. And that's why I'm a good boyfriend..
