OP - how you got from: "You guys aren't answering my question to my satisfaction" to: "You are all freedom hating commies" so quickly is beyond me.

It’s also interesting to see the components and construction technique of this circuit board. A bunch of patch wires would have been provided, and you program each number by threading a long wire through the appropriate cores, connecting it at the top and bottom connectors much like a modern solderless breadboard. At the top and bottom of the programming board are two 40-pin connectors, each pin corresponding to one of the preset phone numbers. Each row corresponds to a dialed digit, and the four cores used to encode a single digit. Raising up the platform exposes a bank of toroidal cores, arranged in seven rows of four. The phone normally sits on a platform on the left side of the machine. But he wasn’t expecting transformer core “rope” memory, either. Given that this was build in the 1980s Soviet Union, he wasn’t expecting a microcontroller. What’s surprising is how you program the numbers. It provides the user with 40 pre-set telephone numbers, arranged in two banks of 20, and a speaker to monitor the connection process. got this 1980s Soviet-era machine a few years ago, and finally got around to breaking into it to learning what makes it tick. The autodialer plugs into the phone line, much like an old-school answering machine. If you thought programming your 1990s VCR was rough, wait until you see this Russian telephone autodialer that took apart over on the mikeselectricalstuff YouTube channel (video below the break). ![]() While we wait for the final results, make sure to check out our previous coverage of another auto dialing robot cracking the code in less than a minute.Ĭontinue reading “Adventures In Robotic Safe Cracking” → Posted in lockpicking hacks, Robots Hacks Tagged autodialer, combination lock, Feather, lockpicking, safe cracking While the robot isn’t quite ready yet, the Part 1 video below is a great introduction to this particular caper. For a safe with an unknown combination, this slow pace would be impractical. This was encountered during testing - while the half-assembled robot was (spoilers) able to open a safe with a known combination, it was only able to do so at slow speed. When dealing with a million potential combinations, any potential misconfiguration of the robot could cause it to lose its place and become out-of-sync with the software. Precision is absolutely essential in a project like this. After some early consternation around the motor’s stall detection capabilities, the project was able to move forward with extra microcontroller code to ensure that the motor disengages when sensing a ‘hard stop’ during cracking. This construction is then mated with an appropriately precise Trinamic controller for the motor, which is perfect for this heist project. So far, has managed to assemble the custom chuck and spindle for the safe cracker. Since you’re reading this on Hackaday, we bet you can guess which path he took. Well, that or doing something crazy like building a safe-opening robot. When was faced with a locked safe and no combination, it seemed like calling a locksmith was the only non-destructive option. ![]()
