Story

About Project:

EM-18 RFID reader works at 125 kHz and it comes with an on-chip antenna and it can be powered with 5V power supply. It gives serial output along with Weigand (Wiegand is the most popular communication method utilized by access control devices)output. The range is around 8-12cm. serial communication parameters are 9600bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.

The output provided by EM-18 RFID reader is in 12 digit ASCII format.

IoT Course will give you a thorough view of all IoT devices.

EM-18 Reader Module

The RFID system contains two components: an RFID tag and a Reader. An antenna is for sending the data to the RFID reader module. Whenever the RFID tag arrives in the range of RFID reader, RF signal power the tag and then tag begins sending data serially. Data is further accepted by the RFID reader and the reader transfers it to the Arduino board. After that as per the code, the different tasks will perform.

In this circuit, we have saved the value of the RFID tag in the code. So, whenever that specific tag comes in range, the relay gets initiated. Whenever the Relay gets initiated the smart door lock will be opened.

If we scan any other RFID card than a specific tag, the buzzer will begin to beep as it’s the wrong RFID tag
