Im new to all this stuff so go easy. I would like o build a simple system that checks for a key (Via Bluetooth OR RF trasmitter)
I would like it to simply activate a relay so when it detects a certian device (like my bluetooth phone) it will activate the relay which would be hooked to a touch sensor in my car door?· So the door will only unlock when 2 things happen. 1. The Paired device is connected.· 2. When the door is touched
Is this possible or easy? I would love to be able to leave my "KEY" in my pocket to get int my car.· Maybe there is a easier way..· Ideas??

    Start by reading the manuals provided by Parallax and the info on any product page of a product you think you might use to find out if it will do what you want. Read up on the stampbasic commands and draw out a program flowchart of what you want the software to do and then break it down into small parts, program that and test it on a breadboard to make sure it works. Build slowly toward a finished project.
