Here is what we've been working on this past week in the Arduino Lab…
- Miami RFID; Laundry Facility Access
- Programmed RFID Cards
- Debugged the GOFi2COLED library and RFID reader interference
- Reduced the amount of memory used up in the code
- Fixed the OLED screen to properly display RFID prompts
- Fabricated aluminum plate prototypes
- Programming for facility use ($12 cards, $4 each use, $0 bal disables card, confirmations, countdown timer, etc)
- Hollywood Suites (Andrew’s Door) RFID Access
- Designed housing and mounting possibilities
- Swapped out G-Board for the Seeeduino
- Changed the RDM630 RFID reader for the Parallax
- Reprogrammed to make the Parallax compatible with Seeeduino
- Enabled Keyfobs and additional cards access
- Experimented with multiple tone frequencies
- Reduced relay size
- Added SMS receiving and transmitting capabilities to the door
- GSM Module used (Gboard stability needs further testing)
- Added an emergency push button switch
- Compacted device to fit into new housing case
- Installed the new RFID device
- Guard Monitor
- Retested stability due to Walky-Talky interference of the device
- Changed out boards of the device
- Testing with Arduino Uno over Seeeduino board - Seeeduino board keeps freezing up (even with watchdog enabled)
- Reinstalled
