Introduction: Arduino Door Lock With Password
In this project I mede an door lock (or box lock) that opens when you enter your password and press "#". The servo turns back to the position it was in after some seconds.
Step 1: PARTS & TOOLS
For this project I used:
* Arduino uno ( http://store.arduino.cc/index.php?main_page=produc... )
* 4x4 matrix keypad, can also use 3x4( http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-x-4-Matrix-Array-16-Key-... )
* Arduino PCB shield ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/Prototype-PCB-for-Arduino-... )
* 2x 1k OHM resistors ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/50-Pcs-Carbon-Film-Resisto... )
* 3mm green and red LEDs ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-OF-20-50-100-3mm-Red-G... )
* Male pin header ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/3pcs-40Pin-2-54mm-Male-Hea... )
* Female pin header ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-4PCS-40Pin-Straight-Fe... )
* Servo ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/SG90-Mini-Gear-Micro-9g-Se... )
* Wires ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/50pcs-1007-24-color-PCB-So... )
The tools you are going to need:
* Soldering iron
* Soldering paste
* Soldering tin
* Plier
Step 2: Schematic
Follow the schematic.
Step 3: Solder the Connectors
Solder he connections for the Arduino, kaypad and servo. When you are soldering the connection for the keypad and the servo try not to have it in a place where the programing port on the Arduino UNO touches your soldered places, I did that once and I almost ended up destroying my Arduino because the 5v and the GND got connected together when they touched the programing port.
Step 4: Soldering
Solder the LEDs, resistors and the wires for them, than solder the rest of the wires, try to cut your wires so that they fit nice and smooth on the PCB like shown in the photos.
Step 5: The Door Lock
I mounted my servo on an aluminum plate with an simple lock. unfortunately I did not take any photos when making this but hopefully you will understand how to make it by the photo, its really easy.
Step 6: CODE
Download the code and import libraries. You need to download the 3 Arduino libraries if you don't have them.
* password.h
* keypad.h
* servo.h

Code complet sans problèmes:
#include <Password.h> //http://playground.arduino.cc/uploads/Code/Password.zip//tells to use password library
#include <Keypad.h> //http://www.arduino.cc/playground/uploads/Code/Keypad.zip//tells to use keypad library
#include <Servo.h> //tells to use servo library
Servo myservo; //declares servo
Password password = Password( "0000" ); //password to unlock, can be changed
const byte ROWS = 4; // Four rows
const byte COLS = 4; // columns
// Define the Keymap
char keys[ROWS][COLS] = {
{'1','2','3'},
{'4','5','6'},
{'7','8','9'},
{'*','0','#'}
};
// Connect keypad ROW0, ROW1, ROW2 and ROW3 to these Arduino pins.
byte rowPins[ROWS] = { 9, 8, 7, 6 };// Connect keypad COL0, COL1 and COL2 to these Arduino pins.
byte colPins[COLS] = { 5, 4, 3 };
// Create the Keypad
Keypad keypad = Keypad( makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS );
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600);

//take care of some special events

}
}
}

Serial.println("Accepted");
Serial.write(254);delay(10);
//Add code to run if it works
myservo.write(150); //deg
password.reset();
digitalWrite(11, HIGH);//turn on

C:\Users\Mahmoud\Documents\Arduino\sketch_jun13a\sketch_jun13a.ino:8:38: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*' [-Wwrite-strings]
Password password = Password( "0000" );
Please help , this error appeared.

i did have the same errors as you

Merci!
c'est genial!
pour moi qui débute ce code est trés complexe, mais le montage fut facile!
Question 3 years ago on Introduction
May I have full coding for this projek

This instructable is very nice and perfect .
I made it .but there
is a problem in the program .
When you enter password keys and * key
the pass is accepted , but after that whenever you press
Just only * key
and no any other key the servo acts ,unless you press another key or
rest # key .
I solved the problem by inserting this line password.reset();
by this when password is accepted the program automatically resets it .
Serial.println("Accepted");
Serial.write(254);delay(10);
//Add code to run
if it works
myservo.write(150); //deg
password.reset();
digitalWrite(11, HIGH);//turn on
delay(5000);
//wait 5 seconds
digitalWrite(11,
LOW);// turn off

Sorry for the late feedback. Great comment. But I had to insert the same line password.reset(); to the else function.

I made this the first time round and had no problem, but i wanted to use a smaller uno bored but now every time i try to upload the code i get this "\Documents\Arduino\TEST1\TEST1.ino:7:18: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*' [-Wwrite-strings]" and because of this the code isnt working right on the bored, pls can anyone help as im confused to what the issue is. thanks

how i connect the pins for 3x4 numpad ?
5 years ago
is this the full programming ???
and how the programming if i add a lcd or cctv ?
can you help me to program it ?
7 years ago
a little doubt here. if i press 123456789 instead of just 159 the opens. i mean the code is such that as if you press any no. having 1,5 & 9 in sequence the door opens

I did not know that, do you have any suggestions to how I can make the code better?
Thanks

just test for code entry size, if more than 3 digits, disallow
