How-To: Make an RGB combination door lock (Part 2)

How-To: Make an RGB combination door lock (Part 2)

In part 1 we showed you how to build your own prototype RGB keypad. Today we’ll show off some new ideas we worked on to create the project and turn it from prototype to fully functional battle station er door lock.
