Introduction: RFID and Bluetooth Door Lock

Hi

This is my first Instructable and my first arduino project, I hope you will find it useful as well.

After looking through the projects on Instructables I could only find either a bluetooth door lock or a rfid door lock, not both so I decided to create one myself. Though the build is not totally complete I have tested it out properly and it does work without any problems.

I would first like to make clear that the 'Bluetooth app and the arduino code for reading bluetooth, and also the arduino code for reading the rfid' WAS NOT created by me. They have been sourced from other projects in Instructables. I would like to thank 'Taifur' for the Bluetooth app and code to go with it and apologise to the person who created the code for reading the RFID, as I have forgotten who it was.

16 April 2016 - New Arduino code and Fritzing diagram uploaded due to changes I have made to the originals.

Step 1: The Parts Needed

Parts required.

1 - Door Lock with Thumb Turn on the inside of the door

1 - Arduino Uno r3 (or compatible)

1 - 360 degree Servo

1 - HC-06 Bluetooth Module

1 - RC522 RFID Reader (Possbly Sintron, can not remember)

1 - 16 x 2 - 4 wire LDC screen

1 - RGB LED

2 - 220Ω Resistors

1 - Momentary Push Switch (to operate from the inside to lock/unlock the door)

1 - 10kΩ Resistor

2 - Double Back Boxes (1 approx 45mm depth and the other approx 33mm depth)

Jumper Wires

Power Supply ( I was going to use 2 x 9v batteries, but have decided to use mains powered 9v supply instead as more reliable)

Screws or strong double sided tape

1 - Servo Holder (I designed and printed my own)

** ----------------Waiting for delivery ---------------------------------------**

2 - Double Blanking Plates

1 - Length of 12 core alarm cable (length dependant on placement)

2 - 5amp Block Connectors (12 wires each)

** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------**

Andriod Bluetooth Lock App. BTControl.apk

Step 2: The Wiring

Power:

9v Regulated Power Supply (or batteries)

RFID Reader:

VCC - Pin 3.3v

GND - GND

Reset (RST) - Pin D9

SDA(SS) - Pin D10

MOSI - Pin D11

MISO - Pin D12

SCK - Pin D13

LCD Screen:

VCC - 5v

GND - GND

SDA - Pin A4

SCL - Pin A5

Momentary Switch:

VCC - 5v (as shown above)

GND to 10kΩ resistor (as shown above)

Pin 8 arduino (as shown above)

RGB LED:

Pin D7 to 220Ω resistor then to LED pin (Red)

Pin D6 to 220Ω resistor then to LED pin (Green)

Common (the long wire) - GND

Servo:

VCC - 5v

GND - GND

Signal - Pin D5

Bluetooth Module:

VCC - 5v

GND -GND

TX - D0 (RX)

RX - D1 (TX)

Fritzing Diagram:

Step 3: Putting It All Together

The Arduino, Bluetooth Module and Momentary Switch + RGB Led circuit fits into the 45mm Back Box. I have just used Blu-Tac to hold them in place as they will not be moved once fixed to the wall. I have soldered the switch, led and resistors to a circuit board along with creating a GND and VCC connections on either side of the circuit board, a Block Connector will also be placed in for the 12 Core Alarm Cable to connect the RFID and LCD Screen to the arduino. The lid will get 2 holes drilled in it to accommodate the switch and led.

The RFID and LCD Screen fits within the 33mm Back Box with a slot cut out for the LCD Screen to fit through. These will the be wired to the arduino with the 12 Core Alarm Cable and Block Connector.

For the Servo to connect to the door lock I 3D printed a holder to be screwed to the door and attached to the door lock.

Step 4: The Code - (Updated on 12 October 2020) - Also New File Uploaded.
