Introduction:

  • Statement of Purpose:
      • Goal: We plan to build a portable electronic door security system that is inexpensive, portable, versatile and can be installed conveniently on almost any door imaginable. 
      • Objectives:
        • Securely locks/unlocks the door.
        • Automatically lock the door when door is shut.
        • Uses a digital logic circuit to verify the input.
        • Uses RFID sensing system to receive the user input.
        • Has an easily installation system.
        • RFID input through a band with an identifier or through an identifier that can be embedded easily on a wristwatch.

  • Background Research:
      • Key based locks can be easily unlocked with duplicate keys and are not very secure.
      • Key based locks at many places don't have automatic locking system (for example at PAR and Hendricks House).
      • Door security devices should be easily user install-able and super convenient to use.
      • People can forget keys somewhere. However, people generally won't remove the RFID identifier band from their hand, or remove it from their watch.

  • Parts:
    • Arduino Uno
    • Breadboard
    • Wires
    • Barn Door Lock
    • Servo Motor
    • LEDs
    • Resistors
    • Capacitors
    • RFID sensors (from seedstudios)
    • RFID tags (~ 125 kHz) from seedstudios
    • LDR sensor
    • Custom built chassis.

 

  • Challenges:
    • None of us are pro at programming, so programming the device correctly will be a big challenge for us.
    • The device uses RFID system for sensing user-input. We don't know how RFID works and will need to research on it to identify the solutions to any problems that may arise.
    • Another big challenge is in creating the chassis that can protect the device from being tempered with by thief.
    • The biggest challenge is in creating a device which is portable and can be easily installed to any door with a user manual.

Project approved, just be sure to add a block diagram to see how all the components will fit together!

Make sure that you are keeping a weekly journal either on this page or on a child page to keep us updated on the progress you all are making. 

The block diagram looks good!

Reminder that everyone should have a short (5 minute) progress report presentation ready for the next meeting! Just share what your team been working on, challenges, opportunities, and your plan for the rest of the semester.

Correction: presentations will be November 11th (Friday teams) and 14th (Monday teams). However, it's never too early to start preparing demos and stuff!
