In this video I try to create a lock system for the door of my lab/workshop. Commercial solutions do not really do the trick for me. But by combining some available components with custom designs, it should be possible to make an awesome DIY fingerprint reader door lock. So check it out and maybe get inspired to make one for yourself ;-) Let's get started!
