Using an Arduino Uno, LEDS, an LCD1602 without the lcd backpack, jumper wires both male to male and female to male, a servo motor, resistors, a potentiometer, and cardboard, I will be making a Mars Airlock system.

Ship #1 Pending review

I made an Airlock system that opens the door, slowly closes the door, and locks the door. Originally I had a few problems with the project. I actually wanted to give it two more sensors, an Ultrasonic sensor and DHT11 sensor. Unfortunately the DHT11 sensor wasn't working and the Ultrasonic Sensor was broken. I decided to add LEDs to distinguish all 3 systems. Then I realized my LCD1602 wasn't working, so I tried rewriting that portion of code but it still didn't work. I downloaded some installations on Arduino IDE and it still didn't work. Then I realized I needed a potentiometer, and when I added it, it worked. I also ran into a problem with my servo motor not being calibrated to the same amount of degrees each time, I fixed it by rewriting the code to calibrate it to 0 degrees everytime the code runs. Now that I've ran into these problems, hopefully it will be easier to make hardware next time.

I am working on a small Arduino system involving servo motors an LCD1602 and LEDs. This project mimcs airlock systems used in space shuttles. Right now the project has three different systems, Safe, Caution, and Airlock. Things that I’m thinking about adding to this project : DHT11 (to analyze temperature and airlock during dangerous temperatures), Ultrasonic (Detecting any threats), IR sensor module (useful for detection too).
