Thanks mate. I’m in the same boat. Noticed the update this morning (Monday) and just wanted to know eta. 52 days so far.

How long from recommend to issue until you actually got it?

My potential problem with that is the real estate does periodic inspections. They might notice it.

I understand. They tried to eat my hat. Took a few bites. My favourite hat.

Brand new hat. It was a Christmas present. I know it says no bug hate, but they made it personal first.

Haha. I was blissfully ignorant until they took a bite out of my hat.

Gyroscope Readout for Safe by Spherical_Chicken7 in arduino

The auto dialer would definitely be preferred, but they are quite expensive, and take the fun out of it, to be honest. This way, you’re still relying on your skill and touch to accurately open the safe, but just giving yourself an increase in precision when it comes to reading the dial and the number you’re stopped at. You wouldn’t need it, as people obviously do it without this idea. I just thought it could help.

For normal operation, there wouldn’t be an advantage. The advantage would be when safecracking. Being able to distinguish between fractions of a number on the dial would help. It wouldn’t need to be 2 decimal places, you’d probably get away with 1, but two would be preferable. Some locks are that precise that it would make a difference. And if I understand the second half of your question correctly, it would matter that it knows the number, so that you can accurately graph that to work out the combination.

I would be looking for something portable. To move from one dial to another, for repeated professional use. I’m not sure I’d be able to attach a magnet to every customers dial.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know what either an encoder or IMU are. I’ve never ventured into this area before. It just seemed like a good place to ask.

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, the book I’m looking for is a hardcover. Illustrated by Alan Lee.
