At least once in our lives we have come across some kind of RFid locks in homes, offices, elevators or hotels. Some of you may have been inspired to build your own version of it for your home or as a final product. We will show you how you can do this in a blink of an eye. Using PIC-Ready1 with PIC18F4520, RFid reader, Relay 4 board, along with EasyInput and EasyBuzz we have created a RFid lock that controls 4 separate relays with RFid cards. And it will cost you less than $100!

Before you can use it, you must program the board to recognize your RFid cards, and assign them to each relay separately.

  1. Bring 5V to the input pins on PORTA associated with relays. You can do this using EasyInput board
  2. Reset PIC-Ready1 board to enter programming mode. Buzzer will signal that programming mode is enabled.
  3. One-by-one, program the RFid card for each relay by swaping it over RFid reader when a relay LED turns on.
  4. After you are finished, bring inputs on PORTA to GND and reset the board to enter normal mode.
  5. By swapping the appropriate card over the RFid reader, associated relay will turn on for 2 seconds, accompanied by a sound signalization.
  6. Buzzer will signal if the card is not recognized.

MRAM 4 Click

0

MRAM 4 Click is a compact add-on board representing a magneto-resistive random-access memory solution. This board features the EM064LX, an industrial STT-MRAM persistent memory from Everspin Technologies. It is a 64Mb MRAM IC RAM and can achieve up to 200MHz as a single and double data rate (STR/DTR). The MRAM technology is analog to Flash technology with SRAM-compatible read/write timings (Persistent SRAM, P-SRAM), where data is always non-volatile. It also has a hardware write-protection feature and performs read and write operations with data retention for ten years and unlimited read, write, and erase operations for the supported life of the chip.

Hall Current 11 Click

0

Hall Current 11 Click is a compact add-on board that provides economical and precise AC or DC current sensing solutions. This board features the TMCS1108A2U, a galvanically isolated Hall-effect current sensor with high accuracy, excellent linearity, and temperature stability from Texas Instruments. The input current flows through an internal 1.8mΩ conductor that generates a magnetic field measured by an integrated Hall-effect sensor. It features a 100V functional isolation working voltage with both unidirectional and bidirectional current sensing. Based on the selected logic voltage VCC, the TMCS1108A2U allows the user to measure current in two appropriate ranges, where after that, can process the output signal in analog or digital form.
