RFID Doorlock

Description

Build an RFID doorlock for the hackerspace. This doorlock should tweet when the space is open to alert standard members.

Inspirations

• Open Access Control
• RFID Tweeter
• Various Hackerspaces Doorlocks
• iButton is opening doors at the TkkrLab

Proposed solution

For the electronic part, taking inspiration from the RFID Tweeter project seems a good start. It allows us to have the whole system embedded in a microcontroller (low power) and solves the biggest problems from such a device (in my opinion) ethernet access and tweeting!

Tasks

• Test electronic + software (on breadboard) for tweeting accordint to a RFID Tag
• Design and build mechanic fixation on door
• Design and test electronic + software (on breadboard) for the mechanic fixation on door
• Create PCB for electronic
• Start using it ;-)

Dashboard

RFID Tweeting Test

• We already have an RFID Reader: Parallax RFID Reader Serial
• An mbed board and RJ45 connector will be ordered for the test

Mechanic Fixation

• We will use this lock to open the door: TSE BUSINESS SET 5001 PINCODE
