Code Lock with One Button

Code Lock with One Button
The unusual feature of this code lock is that it can be operated with just one pushbutton. In situations where a tamper-proof solution is required this circuit has a great financial advantage: only one robust pushbutton needs to be bought. The disadvantage of this solution is that it takes a little longer to enter the code.
The circuit diagram should be modified to show a common-cathode (CC) display in position LD1. A suggested type is the LITE-ON LSHD-5503. Supply decoupling capacitor C1 is not shown on the component overlay and may be fitted at the underside of the board.
