Key Card Lock

This instructable was created in fulfillment of the project requirement of the Makecourse at the University of South Florida (www.makecourse.com)

This Instructable is going to detail how to make a key card access lock that can be attached to fridge or drawer. Simply put the access card up to the sensor and the lock will open.

Step 1: Materials Needed

Arduino Uno

Motor Shield

Stepper Motor

Breadboard

Battery and Battery connector

Pushbutton

RFID Key Card Module

Box for hardware storage

Step 2: 3D Printing

First it is necessary to 3D print all your parts. You need to print the mount bracket, pin, shaft, gear and cover. Use the schematics above to 3D design the parts with Inventor.

Drawings in this order.

1. Cover

2. Pin

3. Shaft.

4. Gear

5. Mount

6. Bracket

Step 3: Attach Shaft to Gear

Glue the shaft to the gear by placing it in the hole designed for it

Step 4: Attach Motor to Cover

Attach the Motor to the Cover using two screws. Then the shaft should slide through the hole in the cover and rest on the motor.

Step 5: Attach 5M Tape to Mount

Cut tape and stick tape to Mount where it is white in the photo.Slide the pin through the holes into resting positon. The cover, gear, shaft and motor should stick on top.

Step 6: Wiring to Arduino

Follow the Wiring diagram with these instructions.

RFID

SDA to pin 10

SCK to pin 13

MOSI to pin 11

MISO to pin 12

IRQ no pin

GRD to GRD

RST to pin 8

3.3V to 3.3V

Motor Shield

Step motor attaches to A B C and D

IN1 to pin 2

IN2 to pin 3

IN3 to pin 4

IN4 to pin 5

+ to 5V

- to GND

Button

To pin 6

To GND

Step 7: CODE Libraries

Download these and put in your libraries

Step 8: CODE Primary

Copy and paste this into your code

//these functions run the above configurations in forward and reverse order //the direction of a stepper motor depends on the order in which the coils are turned on. void forward(){//one tooth forward Step_A(); delay(delaytime); Step_B(); delay(delaytime); Step_C(); delay(delaytime); Step_D(); delay(delaytime); }

void backward(){//one tooth backward Step_D(); delay(delaytime); Step_C(); delay(delaytime); Step_B(); delay(delaytime); Step_A(); delay(delaytime); }

Start the serial monitor and run the code.

Press your card up to the sensor and write down the tag info.

Replace the accepted tag info with your tag info

Step 9: Container

Get your container and cut open a hole for the button. Place all wiring into the box.

Congratulations! Your Key Access Lock is now finished!
