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
