Gate brain is a gate controller that can be used to control most actuators providing smart and internet connected gate control. It utilizes an arduino for actuator control and a raspberry pi for internet connectivity. It is built with off the shelf components and includes current overload sensing for added safety.

    I started this project back at the beginning of the year and have been slowly working on gathering components and writing code. The hackaday contest is just what I needed to help push this project into higher priority.

    I have copied a Finite State Machine library to github with a few updates to the original GNU licensed software. This library provides state machine control for the arduino.

    Arduino.GateBrain handles the Finite State Machine aspect of the gate controller and monitors the current draw as the gate is opening.

    Once I complete the gate controller functionality, I will add IOT and bluetooth control through the raspberry Pi.
