For a project, I'd like to eventually make a series of automatic doors down a hallway.

I'd like to start out witha tabletop model of doors around 15in high by around the same wide. Where can I find helpful resources for integrating mechanics with motors?

What are or where can I find options on the type of motors and sensors to use?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You need to think about these things, also what doors are you using??? single doors, sliding doors doors that slide out from the middle, what about lights? telling the user to do smthing??? lots to think about, plan carfoly
