Brute Force Auto Dialer
Haven't posted here in awhile but I'm still plugging away at learning to manipulate safe locks. I have a number of mounted S&G practice locks ranging from the 6700 3 wheel(group 2) variety up to a chubb 4 wheel vault lock(group 1). To help in this endeavor I built a rig using a rotary encoder that can be mounted to the safe dial, which accurately measures the contact point distance. I should point out that the arduino coding used in this project would not have been possible if it weren't for the help of another member on this forum "jaakko Fagerlund" whose knowledge and patience with my many questions made it all possible.
This works great on most locks but a bit iffy on the group 1 lock which has a very mushy contact points.
My next project will be to put together an autodialer run by an arduino program. My first question among many would be to figure out the approx size of stepper motor Does anyone have experience with this?
