RFID Door Lock Project

A detailed overview of the RFID Door Lock Project.

Project Overview

The RFID Door Lock Project is an innovative venture aimed at transforming traditional door locks with advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. This open source project exemplifies the integration of engineering expertise and creative design, highlighting how we can enhance our interaction with everyday surroundings.

RFID Door Lock Project

Embarking on this project, I sought to redefine door security by leveraging RFID technology. The journey began with a thorough exploration of RFID systems, establishing a strong technical foundation. The MFRC522 RFID Module, the heart of the system, enabled accurate reading of RFID cards, opening up numerous possibilities for secure access.

The hardware assembly phase was pivotal. The key components included:

  • MFRC522 RFID Module: Central to reading RFID cards accurately.
  • Servo Motor: Provided a smooth and efficient mechanism for controlling the door lock.
  • LCD Display: Enhanced user interaction by displaying relevant information and feedback.
  • Arduino Board: Acted as the system's brain, ensuring seamless communication between components.
