A repository for a security system with RFID cards and python. With addition of audio sound for protection notification

Secure-RFID

In this repo, I implement a security system with RFID cards and python.

in txt folder, the python "backend" has a tags.txt file that has all the Card IDs that are allowed into the system.

in db folder, I want to integrate mysql instead of a text file.

Structure

src
├── arduino
│   └── index.ino
└── python
    ├── audio # --- uses audio to indicate access granted   or denied
    │   ├── denied.mp3
    │   └── granted.mp3
    |── txt # will use txt file as database
    │   ├── index.py
    │   └── tags.txt
    ├── db # --- uses mysql as database
    │   ├── index.py

How to run

Arduino

1. Open index.ino in Arduino IDE
2. Upload to Arduino

Python

1. Open terminal
2. cd into python folder
3. Run pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Open index.py and change the port variable to the port that the Arduino is connected to
5. Run python index.py

How it works

1. Arduino reads the RFID card
2. Arduino sends the card ID to the python script
3. Python script checks if the card ID is in the database
4. If the card ID is in the database, the python script sends a signal to the Arduino and the user is granted access
5. If the card ID is not in the database, the python script sends a signal to the Arduino and the buser is denied access
6. Sound is played on the Arduino to indicate if the access is granted or denied

TODO

• Add sqlite database
• Add mongodb database
• Add qdrant vector database
