        <description><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: blue;">Project Introduction:</span></h2>
After inputting the fingerprint lock off signal, the steering gear rotates 90 °, and the rocker arm intersects with the U-shaped plastic, so that the box cannot be opened. After pressing the fingerprint scanner again, the steering gear rotates 90 ° in the opposite direction, and the rocker arm is parallel with the U-shaped plastic, so that the box can be opened.
