Simplest Arduino Lock/unlock code/algorithm using Keypad and LCD screen
Hello,
This post is about an Arduino locking algorithm/code you can add to your own projects, the code is very simple to use and understand by beginners, the code here is used to show a message on the LCD screen if the code is correct or not, you can add it to your own projects, with servo locks or relays or whatever you are using.
Check my other tutorial about LCD i2c screen if you don’t know how to use it yet:
Arduino LCD I2C simple use and direct write from serial monitor
Wiring:
The wiring is easy the Keypad pins are from 2 to 9 digital pins, the LCD I use is a i2c version, it has 4 pins GND/VCC/SDA/SCL are wired respectively with GND/5V/A4/A5.
Later you can add a relay, solenoid or adapt an electronic lock and integrate this algorithm.
Code:
