0004 - Testing the new electronic gate lock

Testing the new electronic gate lock. The gates close and are mostly secure without it. But the arm that closes them has play in it - you can push the gate open about 6-8 inches. Which a dog would love. So the goal isn’t so much to lock the gate but to latch it in a way that still lets you open it with a remote.

This one - to explain, I started by shaking the gate to make sure it was locked. Then tap the remote. A relay unlocks the lock and the gate opens. When it closed - it did unfortunately pop back out. I need to recalibrate because I originally calibrated it to close further inside. Right now it slams into the gate, bounces, and latches 2 out of 3 times.
