Hi Stu

Thanks for your positive comments.
The Arduino Nano is there to process the command form the infrared remote control.
You can switch the left or right lights and the beacon on the building on or off independently.
Future expansion will be the remote operation of the door and possibly some sound effects and a display screen or clock.
the two light towers also operate form the same remote though of using Bluetooth or a spare radio set but that would have meant carrying a phone or transmitter around and the simple remote or even a tv remote could be used is small and has loads of buttons so win win.
I will think about producing the light towers I will just have to refine them a bit further first

Many thanks

Mark
