Cool, thanks HomeydaClown and Sawtooth Jack! I printed off the tough arduino project, and I see a couple that I'm going to print off from Tod's blog.

I have a quick question. Have any of you guys ever used a Ultrasonic sensor distance measuring module with an arduino? I have an idea for my cemetery gates that I want to attempt. I'm wanting them to slowly open as someone approaches and slowly close as the person walks away. A guy I work with told me to try to find a "ping" sensor. When I googled it, one of the links was for a ultrasonic sensor distance measuring module. I'm wondering if that will work with what I'm wanting to do.

I'm guessing that that is a no.

Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to attempt to work it out.

I haven't, the only problem I'd foresee with a gate slowly opening and closing is that if you had a bunch of TOTs coming and going that the gate wouldn't "know" how to react. You might end up with a bottleneck at your gate.
