Garage Gate Opener Using ARM Cortex-M4
This is a hardware based project which uses ARM Cortex-M4 (Texas Instruments EK-TM4C123GXL) to make a Garage Gate Opener without the need of extra peripherals. The program is capable of protecting the system itself from electrical damages.
The whole circuit is powered by +3.3V of ARM Cortex-M4 (Texas Instruments EK-TM4C123GXL) and AC mains (External power supply).
.bin file of c99 code is attached with the provided link at the end of this tutorial. .bin file can be uploaded to the microcontroller using LM Flash Programmer.

The following things are required to get this project done:
1- Texas Instruments EK-TM4C123GXL
2- Three push buttons
3- Two diodes
4- Four relays
5- Gate opener motor
6- Two door sensors
7- LM Flash Programmer (software on PC)
