Demonstrating Automate Safe Cracking with an ESP8266 and a Stepper Motor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/demonstrating-automate-safe-cracking-with-an-esp8266-and-a-stepper-motor/
To recover a lost combination, we may see how YouTuber Zach Hipps designed and built a completely automated safe-breaking robot. Zach Hipps, who runs the YouTube channel Byte Sized Engineering, has a brother-in-law who put his safe’s combination code inside the safe just before going on vacation. But when he got home, he realized he […]
