This week we’re breaking out the breadboard for an oldschool Hak5 mod — the Internet enabled garage door opener. Because when it comes to garage entry, what could be easier than writing an Android app to access a home Apache server, hitting a PHP script that interfaces with a USB Teensy over serial, activating relays connected to a remote. Duh.

Garage Door Opener
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); // USB is always 12 Mbit/sec
pinMode(17,OUTPUT); //Door
pinMode(18,OUTPUT); //Gate
}
void loop()
{
char c = Serial.read();
if(c == '0')
{
//open door
Serial.println("Open Door and Gate");
openDoor(18,1000);
openDoor(17,1000);
}
if(c == '1')
{
//open door
openDoor(17,1000);
}
if(c == '2')
{
//open gate
openDoor(18,1000);
}
}
void openDoor(int pin,int d){
digitalWrite(pin, HIGH);
delay(d);
//stop opening doors
digitalWrite(pin, LOW);
}

Can you post the code for Teensy and PHP?
It’s in the show notes now.
Where are the show notes? I see the teensy C code but cannot find the PHP code.
Thanks,
Alex
Still looking for the PHP code for the garage door opener project. I’ve got my teeny up and running, and am ready to start the php part of this.
Thanks,
rob
I also would like the PHP code and don’t see it ?
Great segment, but Aqua Net.. What’s up with that?
It’s for a potato canon 😉
on next weeks one you should make an audio level meter that sits next to the camera so you know that your mics are working :o)
i like the sound of linking electronics to PC’s
i thought we were going to see the pineapple using some cgi-bin todo this
tiny network powered switching
domain dot com is the worst host i have ever had the misfortune of giving money to
they have no support
my dns has been hijacked before it even went online
do not waste your money with them, godaddy is better(lol)
this spam filter is too strong as can be seen by teh number of comments, all probably about how domain dot com ripped people off
snubs is cute so no killing rampage yet…
big wow, my bad
MY ISP’S DNS WAS COMPROMISED thus directing just MY domain to some shady holding pages
changed to googles dns servers – 8.8.8.8 and its all fine now
I REPEAT IGNORE TEH ABOVE OK THEIR SUPPORT STILL HASN’T REPLIED BUT REALLY THEY HAD NO NEED TO.
guys feel free to delete both of these posts
lol@me being the crazy guy (i’m normally taking the c r a p )
mmm snubs is hot
//update
dns issue has been sorted with the isp
but
so many issues with domain dot com that they ahven’t even replied to yet that i’ve cancelled everything and moved to go-daddy
cheaper, faster page times and was fully setup without a single issue in 3 hours
only prblem is i had to register the .net name as domin dot com wont let teh transfer of new domains for 60days so i’m using their url forward to forward teh doamin they have till the 60 dyas is up
i will never use them again, for the difference in performance, lack of support and generally all round suckyness. they suck
i now have huge doubts over this show as you constantly peddle this crap – are you sell outs or just really poor?
goto stuff is good
you need a camera man with headphones if mike pack batteries can spoil a take
darren your ideas are good, your a fellow biker but your bad domain advice just cost me money and time.
snubs, youre still awesome 😉
I think it’s a bunch of crap that you use Go To Meeting in the show because they are an advertiser and have a video call where they dont offer that feature. Dont you think we notice that you are using Skype for the video part. This is why I dont like regular TV because they are a bunch of liars, dont turn into that crap. Love the show, is it me or is the last 1/2 and this season look like this show is falling apart. I dont see a season 9 if this continues…….
We use Go To Meeting in the show because it allows us to easily pass the screen sharing back and forth. As it is currently the cast is quite separated! As for the video we either each record locally and transfer the video files or we’ll hop on Skype and I’ll use Vidblaster to switch cameras. I’ve never intended to imply that GTM has video features. I hope that wasn’t misleading but it is a video podcast. For example, last GTM round-table Shannon has multiple camera angles — I figured that was obviously not a Citrix feature.
As for Season 9, it’s shaping up to be the best yet. We have some killer long term projects in the works that are going to totally kick butt. With Shannon moving out here and a proper set/studio getting back in place we’ll finally get back to what we had in Virginia. I appreciate everyones support during this time of transition and I’m sure if you stick with us you’ll see that our hearts are in the right place.
Hey Darren,
I’ve been a Hak5 Fan for years, love the show!
Just wondering what happened to “We’ll make it up next week” Regarding the Garage Door segment.
We still haven’t seen any breadboard and relay action!
😛
It is a bunch of crap – WEBEX – is the only one that offers linux compatible version.
