Advanced Door Controller

An advanced controller for custom made doors, with the ability to drive an indicator light that shows if the door is open, locked, opening, closing, or jammed.
Automatically locks and unlocks the door.
It also automatically closes (or opens) again if it gets jammed.
The indicator light is based on actual status, not what it "should" be.
It controls the door from a push button, instead of the more usual toggle switch. Push to open, Push again to close. It reverses instantly if you press again whilst it is still moving.

It is intended for use with the Robotic Door Hinge, and the Door Frame Controller.
You will also need a push button (or more than one) to open and close the door, and an RGB indicator light. YOU MUST SET THE LIGHT TO HSV MODE.

Wiring is 2 wires to the hinge, 2 wires to the latch, one to the switch, and one composite to the lights.

Settings are:
Door opening angle: Set the door opening angle conveniently in degrees, not random game units.
Door indicator light brightness: Self explanatory.
Time to allow door before abort: The number of seconds the door has to open or close before the controller decides it has jammed, and reverses it.
Door opening angle tolerance: This is the margin of error, in degrees, of the "open" acknowledgement. Very heavy or underpowered doors may need a larger margin.
Colour settings for each indication light. The slider is the hue, so move it just a little bit at a time.
