Android app developer
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Components:
1-Arduino Mega: The main controller for your project.
2-RFID RC522: Reads RFID cards to authenticate users.
3-Relay Module: Controls the solenoid lock.
Solenoid Lock: The physical lock that you want to open.
4-DC Power Jack Adapter Connector: Provides power to Arduino.
5-Bluetooth Module (HC-05): To communicate with the Android app.
6-Android App (developed in Android Studio): Allows users to interact with the lock.
Workflow:
Arduino Side (Code on Arduino Mega):
1-Read RFID Card:
Use the RFID RC522 to detect and read RFID cards.
Compare the card's UID with authorized UIDs stored in the Arduino code.
If the card is authorized, proceed to the next step.
2-Control Lock:
Use the Relay Module to control the solenoid lock.
Activate the relay to open the lock when a valid RFID card is detected.
Keep the lock open for a specified duration (e.g., 5 seconds).
Deactivate the relay to close the lock.
3-Bluetooth Communication:
If Bluetooth communication is needed, integrate the HC-05 module.
Communicate with the Android app through Bluetooth.
Receive commands from the app, such as requesting the Arduino to open the lock.
Android App Side (Developed in Android Studio):
1-User Registration/Login:
• Users register or log in to the app.
2-Pairing with Arduino (First Time Setup):
• Users pair their Android device with the Arduino using Bluetooth.
• The app may search for available Bluetooth devices and allow the user to select the Arduino.
3-Store RFID Card IDs:
• During the initial setup or user profile creation, allow users to associate their RFID card with the app.
• Store the RFID card ID in the app's database along with the user's profile.
4-Interact with Arduino:
• When the user wants to open the lock, the app sends a command to the Arduino via Bluetooth.
• The Arduino receives the command and performs the necessary actions (e.g., open the lock).
5-Display Status:
• Display the status of the lock (e.g., locked, unlocked) in the app.
General Workflow:
1'User Setup:
• Register in the app.
• Associate RFID card ID during setup.
2-Normal Usage:
• Approach the lock with the Android app open.
• The app reads the RFID card ID and sends a command to the Arduino to open the lock.
3-Lock Operation:
• Arduino reads the RFID card, verifies it, and opens the lock if authorized.
• App displays the lock status.
Security:
• Ensure secure communication between the app and Arduino.
• Implement secure practices for storing RFID card IDs in the app.
Note: I have the hardware. I just need the app
