How can I make a sliding door by Arduino

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello everyone,

first of all my English language is not too much good so I'm sorry about that.

second, of thing, I'm a new student in Arduino world so I saw some videos and I bought Arduino board and all stuff and I made some small projects.

and in my graduation project, I'm thinking to use the Arduino.

so my project plan is:

to make an automatic door open when someone presses a button or I'm thinking to make it automatic when someone comes over the door it will open by a sensor.

so, for now, that's what I need to make, also I have another addition for this project but first, I need to learn and do the first step.

I watched many videos on youtube but still, I didn't get it, so can anyone help me please to do this project?

Example:

I need the project like this

or same the idea.

please help me.

thank you.

The VERY FIRST step is to watch the video and stop it with a good view of the whole project.

Then make a list of EVERY component used to make the system. Pay particular attention to the door and mechanism used to move the door.

Then build the physical part of the project, ie. the box, the door, the suspension system for the door and get that to move smoothly.

Then purchase/build the mechanism used to move the door.

Only then get the Arduino and associated wires and power supply

Then get the software ready to move the stepper motor that moves the door and make it work.

Finally, add the push buttons and whatever else you want to make the door operate the way you want.

there are lots of tutorials to make an ultrasonic sensor work.

the door moves with a motor. you only need to have a switch to make the door open, and a switch to make it close.

the Arduino just ads the ability to see the sensor, to see the switch and to add timeing to hold open.

you need to make the mechanical part to move the door. in this case, it is a rack and pinion.

break it down into parts and make each part work

the Arduino will tie it all together after you have the parts working.
