[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] Door card access temporarily broken

[Jake]

the door system is fixed.  whatever was wrong is not wrong anymore, the only
thing that I found wrong was that the USB cable to the arduino (which activates
the door opener and makes the beeps, and watches the battery voltage) was
slightly unplugged.

sorry it took so long to fix it, i thought someone else was going to take care
of it.
