FYI, I'm partway through making my own controller for this hardware:

XPCS has a secret USB port, but it wasn't obvious how to control it that way. Driving stepper motors is pretty easy, fortunately.

request for project

hi,
i need to know abt the Hardware connection part and its components used for a project called 'Acess Control Keypad using Arduino Board'. It provides the security lock on the door
and can access it by entering the 4-digit code through the keypad provided and the Lcd is also connected to view the code.

I have an Arduino Duemilanove board, 4X4 keypad and lcd display(BTHQ21605VSS SMN LED-white) and Arduino IDE software installed on my pc. do i need any thing else for this project..?
