The garage door then opens.
Garage door opener arduino uno rfid.
It hosts the web page you connect to when you want to open the door and triggers the garage door opener via the relay when the correct password is entered.
A freetronics etherten or other network capable arduino board this is the brains of the operation.
The arduino then reads the code from the serial connection and compares it to a list of authorized rfid codes.
We were quoted 50 for new garage door openers.
We are going to bridge a connection in the opener switch via a robotgeek relay board initiating the door opening as if you had pressed the button.
When the relay closes it connects the terminals of the garage door signal contacts.
In this project we will be using the power of rfid to tap into your garage door opening system.
To add new keys to the system jason simply swipes his master rfid.
Members could open the garage door using an android app on their mobile phones or by typing their unique pin numbers into a special website.
We already had one door opener so for the same price we went about building our own network enabled garage door opener with an arduino.
The robotgeek rfid garage door opener kit comes with the rfiduino v1 2.
This code will work for any digital output device such as relays leds buzzers and more.
V1 2 shields 2 pin antenna rev 1 2 printed on the board will need the following code.
The arduino acts as the brains of the operation while an off the shelf nfc rfid reader module is used to read the rfid tags.
