rc-lock-replica

Remote-controlled prop replica lock 🔓

This project is inspired by The Replica Prop Forum thread by JohnnyNeutron which in turn was inspired by The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) feature film, and consists of a simple Arduino C++ software script and a step-by-step guide (coming soon) on how to create the prop replica using Arduino Uno hardware and other assorted tools.
