Story

This project is all about a password-protected gate. The gate is made up of two servo motors and opens up when a fixed algorithm is followed. The project consists of two servo motors, three LEDs, four push buttons (three for gate and one for reset purpose). When the algorithm is followed correctly, the gate opens. Algorithm is like this...

When push button 1 is pressed once keeping the 2 other pushbutton at off state. After this, pressing push button 1 and push button 3 at once and keeping push button 2 as it is. After this, pressing push button 2 and push button 3 at once and keeping push button 1 as it is. When this process is followed, the gate opens and all the LEDs glow. When push button 4 is pressed, all the values of push button gets 0 or reset.
