Hardware question
« on: December 09, 2009, 06:41:57 PM »
Hey, I am pretty new to diy projects using iobridge, does anybody have any good suggestions on how to detect the state of a deadbolt lock?  I would like to check if the deadbolt is locked/unlocked using the iobridge.

Thanks!

A simple mechanical way will be to wire a SPDT Switch with roller lever http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2049719.

It will be a matter of connecting ground and digitial input, then creating a widget to see the digital input state (high/low = on/off)
