Arduino Elevator Update: Now Accepting Lego Passengers

Here's a video of K running the elevator. Co-starring a lego man and his faithful dog.




Some of the parts are described in this previous post, although parts have been moved around and added.

I added two buttons, helpfully labeled "Up" and "Down", to control the direction, and a 7-segment LED display to show the current "floor".

As you can see, the elevator's construction has roughly the same quality as my video-taking skills. But that's OK - putting together a more attractive elevator and control panel will be an enjoyable step after getting the code and wiring all correct.
