Description
- Shield to allow Arduino to control a door lock
- Provides easy connection of external RFID reader module to Arduino
- Power pass-through jumper
- Reset button wired through to Arduino reset pin
The Arduino RFID Door Lock Shield allows your Arduino to control a door lock using an electric strike plate and one of a number of commonly-available RFID modules, and is based on the circuit described in the "RFID Access Control System" project in the book "Practical Arduino".
