In this video, I'll explain how to create a pirate-themed escape room puzzle in which players need to turn a ship's wheel in a particular sequence of clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations. Once they enter the correct sequence of turns, an ESP32/Arduino activates a relay, which cuts power to a maglock and causes a treasure chest to pop open.
