WiFi Garage Door Controller | Raspberry Pi Pico W Project

✍ The project write-up: https://core-electronics.com.au/projects/wifi-garage-door-controller-with-raspberry-pi-pico-w-smart-home-project

I strapped a Raspberry Pi Pico W to my garage door motor and now I can control my garage door from my phone! The Pico W hosts a simple webpage on my local network with three control buttons - one for Up, Stop and Down. Pressing one of the buttons does exactly what you'd expect!
