Walk in, flip the switch, change the website status.

It’s an ambition at many a makerspace, a physical switch that changes the Open/Closed indicator on the web site.

Using an Arduino and Ethernet shield he connected the physical switch to the web site and it works!

This will be a handy way for Associate members to know when we’re open.
