Version 0 1

This version uses a hardware switch to activate, and a random number generator to emulate RFID Tags with wrong and right codes.

UPDATE: New code with password and menu system in its infancy.

Hardware

Picture of 0-1 hardware can be seen here

Behaviour

When the Arduino detects a high input on pin 2 (rfidIn - see #Code), a random number is generated between 0 and 100. If this number is less than or equal to 50, then the Arduino assumes this is a valid card and opens the lock (an LED in this case) and turns on the green LED for 3 seconds. If this number is more than 50, then the Arduino assumes this is an invalid card and just turns on the red LED for 3 seconds.

Serial Output

Previous Sub-Versions

/*  RFID Door Control
 by Thomas Bloor - aka. TBSliver

 Version: 0-11

 This version has only a very basic functionality
 which is done using LED's, a hardware switch, and
 a random number generator.
 This version also includes extras for the serial menu.
