Follow the instruction below for the elevator to go express to your desired floor.

    I've done this. Yes I'm serious, I got in trouble for it to.

    Their instuctions are too generic in this exercise. Elevators are not standard, they are widely different. What works for one usually work for only that one.

    You got in trouble? What happened? I mean, I can see people being annoyed, but you didn't do anything wrong, really. You just used a feature that was already there, albiet hidden.

    Thats why I think I'll never use it. Be so easily caught doing it.

    I am so trying this!

    Reminds me of the soda machine “hacks” that used to be all the rage.

    *sigh*

    It was stupid. I put a remote (a little chip from a garage door opener with some fancy wiring with resistors to make the two AA output the correct voltage attached with five alligator clips) onto the computer thingy in the maintenance room. Then all I needed to do was press my garage door opener to call the elevator remotely to one specific floor. A simple jury rigged operation which really just needed knowledge of what wires of the elevator did what and what was the correct voltage, a simple matter of knowing how a multimeter works and seeing where the wires lead to. (ie: there's a semiconductor that leads to a motor controlling the door. hmm, wow that's sure hard to understand *sarcasm*)

    I also changed the alligator clip configuration to make go to different floors or close the door. Closing the door remotely was the funny part. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Of course to cut a long story short I couldn't resist the allure of fame of having people know I was doing it and thus word of mouth found its way to somebody in charge who couldn't take a joke and decided to lecture me on how I could've broken the elevator, no respect for private property, and how I should owe him money for repairing the damage I did, blah blah. In fact I knew exactly what I was doing and did no damage to the elevator. Moron.

    Anyways the moral of the story is ask for permission before doing something like that so you don't get in trouble. In California you'll get sued (b/c everybody is lawsuit happy in SoCal) more than likely so be real careful.

    Dude, pushing two buttons is different than rewiring something so you can control it. Worst case scenario, you say it was an accident and you didn't know it would happen.

    oh man.. i just watched some crappy movie about this experimental bio chip that was put in an elevator and the elevator started killing people... SO WEIRD THAT TWO PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WOULD BE DOING SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH ELEVATORS!! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    All I can say is this: Don't ****ing EVER mess with the elevators at a hospital. If it takes you a bit longer to get to the fourth floor to see your buddy, SO BE IT. Better than having a heavily bleeding patient waiting for the elevator somewhere while you **** around.

    Lolfighter, which is why most modern hospitals have seperate patient and public elevators.

    I worked around two hospitals during social service. Neither had such.

    Sorry I'm confused, this does what? Just automatically makes the elevator go to your floor before all others?
  • Fog_cartoonsFog_cartoons Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20658Members
    This will help so much! Usually, at the Giant shopping centre I go to every so often, I end up going 1 floor to short only to go all the way back down.

    Since this was linked in that "last thing you posted in" thread, and I never got around to replying before the forums went down, I will here.

    I tried this at my college. It didn't work. It did, however, succeed in annoying a large amount of people, who blamed the person I pointed at, who I didn't like. So it all worked out.

    **EDIT**
    I'd also like to point out that I'm scared at how easily I remember threads from so long ago. I saw the title "Ever Used The Elevator" at the top of my browser, and could remember what it was about.

    Because we needed to get to floor five, but I hit floor one, then hit floor five trying to close door thing. but it didn't work, and we stopped at floor one, and about 5 other people got into the lift, who went to floor 2 and so on. I guess it could be argued that we would've stopped at floor 1 anyway, but you know what people are like.
