The rfid lock box combines arduino rfid and a solenoid to make your very own personal safe.
Solenoid door lock arduino.
Hi and welcome to this tutorial yep it s old but classic today i m making a door lock project based on a arduino board keypad lcd i c screen and i ll use for the lock a solenoid and a relay you can check my tutorial about the finger print door lock where i used a lock that uses a dc motor so it depends on your lock system you ll have to chose a wiring codes and adapt them.
In this instructable we will be building a simple circuit that will allow us to control a solenoid using the popular physical computing platform arduino.
Arduino solenoid door lock using rfid rfid radio frequency identification is an inexpensive and accessible technology.
By placing a magnetic armature inside that field the armature can move in or out of the coil.

Team this with our arduino and we open up a number of interesting applications.
I became interested in controlling solenoids for robotic music applications.
Controlling solenoids with arduino.
So to do that we will use tip120 npn transistor as a switch driver and a dc power source which can provide 6 12v.
In this tutorial we will learn how to use the rfid rc522.
So we can use an rfid system and an ardui.
To connect the push pull solenoid with the arduino we will have to use external power because it requires 6 12v to operate and much more current than the arduino can provide.
