 ABOUT THIS PROJECT 

Ideation
When we see sophisticated door management system(s), the price tag
struck immediately along with the utility of-course. In countries like India,
such automatic systems are not cheap by any yardstick. So, we decided to
test a simple and cheap prototype to see if such a robust system could be
developed using the tool of our choice, Arduino Uno. That's how we got
started to develop this project and are very happy with the way it finally
looks. Of course, there are myriads of future extensions that we are
planning to impose upon this project, but that's a topic for our next post.

Nice project! I'm testing my RFID module with your code, but I can't figure
out where to get the RFID.h library. Could you please let me know?
Thanks.

You might have to force your door open.

Nice project. Can i ask a question? what if the source of the power loose?
how can i get out? and what if i lose my card key for the sensor how can i
still open it?? need some answers thanks.

wow, this project is awesome, but i copied the codes and tried verifying,
but is giving me error, "rfid.h is not a directories" and i downloaded and
added the MFRC522 library, and change it to MFRC522.h and i got error on
"pitches.h", what should i do

user6352438

Hi, You will get "pitches.h" from the Arduino examples itself.
Go to Arduino IDE -> File -> Examples -> Digital -> toneMelody

Hi! Thank you for this interesting project!

I tried to make it and met some obstacles. As I read in other comments, I
replaced rfid.h with MFRC522.h. I kept the name of the object "rfid", and I
used the following functions and structures from the class MFRC522:
RFID rfid(SS_PIN, RST_PIN ); --> MFRC522 rfid(SS_PIN, RST_PIN );
rfid.init(); --------------> rfid.PCD_Init();
rfid.SerNum[i] ----------> rfid.uid.uidByte[i]
rfid.isCard() ------------> rfid.PICC_IsNewCardPresent()
rfid.readCardSerial() ----> rfid.PICC_ReadCardSerial()
rfid.halt(); --------------> rfid.PICC_HaltA();
I also added pitches.h to my project. It is located as wrote user6352438
here :
"Arduino IDE" -> File -> Examples -> Digital -> toneMelody
At the moment, the behavior of the screen, the rfid part (with correct and
incorrect Id) and the motor work. I am still debugging the led and the
sound which do not work.
I will also add a potentiometer to manage the contrast of the lcd screen (by
adjusting the voltage on the Pin V0 of the LCD screen).
Hope it helps. And thanks again!

Have you fixed it? I faced the same problem with LED and sound. I'm
also interested in getting a solution to integrate teh potentiometer.

in terms of security, UID checks are pretty much the worst authentication
method. does anyone know libraries and / or hardware that support more
sophisticated methods?

Hi. I like your project, but where I can download libraries RFID.h and
"pitches.h", help me

Sven Hamelsveld

Hi, project looks great but like some others I can't get it to compile 😦
first it moans about the RFID.h and after that one it goes to the pitches.h
and then to the application.h....
Can you please provide instructions or a zip file with all the code needed to
get this up and running?
Tnx

 You can get the RFID.h library by clicking the link someone posted
above. The pitches library is found in your
"file>example>digital>Tonemelody." For you application.h i'm not too
sure but try looking and try to download the zip and include it to you
libraries too.

Nice project, I have been looking for these kind of stuffs because I will

system.

them?

marvinscott39

I've made all my connections and this code I really just copied and pasted,
and included the RFID.h library. I'm getting an error hinting me about
"application.h" but I cant't find anything on GitHub, any advice here?

Nice Project!
I recently accomplished something similar but using a Raspberry Pi and a
USB Smart Card Reader. You can see the source code on the GitHub
repository Smart Card Contactless Raspberry Pi -
