We are continuously inspired by our readers which is why we share what we love, and that inspiration flows both ways. [jetpilot305] connected a Rothult unit to the Arduino IDE in response to Ripping up a Rothult. Consider us flattered. There are several factors at play here. One, the Arduino banner covers a lot of programmable hardware, and it is a powerful tool in a hardware hacker’s belt. Two, someone saw a tool they wanted to control and made it happen. Three, it’s a piece of (minimal) security hardware, but who knows where that can scale. The secure is made accessible.
The Github upload instructions are illustrated, and you know we appreciate documentation. There are a couple of tables for the controller pins and header for your convenience. You will be compiling your sketch in Arduino’s IDE, but uploading through ST-Link across some wires you will have to solder. We are in advanced territory now, but keep this inspiration train going and drop us a tip to share something you make with this miniature deadbolt.
Locks and security are our bread and butter, so enjoy some physical key appreciation and digital lock love.
The Rothult is an Ikea smart lock.
Haha, this should be the very first line of text in the article.
Thanks :)
seriously I was like WTF is a ROTHULT
Much appreciated – I didn’t have a clue what this was talking about.

Have you ever gotten so caught up in something that you forget where you started and that not everyone has been following along?
I’m guilty of that here.
Thank you for clarifying, and I’ll watch it in the future.
