RFID Enabling Your Front Door using a Parallax Microcontroller

at 9:39 am. Filed under Complex Hacks, Electronic Hacks

You may remember an RFID project that was featured here last year by The Digital Dawg Pound. Nick has come up with a new and improved RFID Door Entry System.

Video after the jump.

“I decided to try and improve the reliability and responsiveness of my previous RFID front door project (based around a client / server design), by re-implementing it using the Parallax BASIC Stamp 2e, and the 13.5MHz APSX RW-210 RFID reader as a standalone device. I was also looking to gain some practical experience with BASIC Stamp programming.

The design is fairly straight forward, a custom circuit board links the BASIC Stamp to the RFID reader, and is powered by 12v. When a valid card is recognised, it provides 12v output to a door strike, and buzzer for 3 seconds. When an invalid card is recognised, it pulses 12v to a buzzer only for 250 milliseconds 3 times in a row (see below for video demo). It also features a trigger input which when connected to ground will simulate a valid tag bring presented to the reader (this is used to “buzz” open the door from a remote location).”

    Hey Net Guider,

    You could use it for anything. Turn on a light, activate your car, unlock your electronic safe… No end to the possibilities. :)
