[tech] Door Circuitry

[Bob Adamson]

Hi All,

Sad news - our door relay has kicked the bucket. Somehow the electronic 
lock got a short in it, killing the modem (!) that drives the relay. Of 
course, being UCC, this modem was a complete box of hackery. Adrian and 
myself are working on a simple circuit to replace it, but haven't had any 
luck yet.

So for the next couple of days we're going to have to use the old 
fashioned key system. I have a copy of the key, and as far as I know, 
committee members can borrow the ucc key from the guild reception. Please 
don't climb down the wall - aside from the fact that it is hideously 
dangerous, it leaves marks on the wall.

If anyone knows anything about how the old setup worked (particularly the 
success/failure sensing in the binary) please give me a yell.
