remember)
1 - Door Lock with Thumb Turn on the inside of the
door 1 - 16 x 2 - 4 wire LDC screen

1 - Arduino Uno r3 (or compatible) 1 - RGB LED

1 - 360 degree Servo 2 - 220 Resistors

1 - HC-06 Bluetooth Module 1 - Momentary Push Switch (to operate from the
inside to lock/unlock the door)

1 - 10k Resistor ---------------------------------------**

2 - Double Back Boxes (1 approx 45mm depth and the 2 - Double Blanking Plates
other approx 33mm depth)
1 - Length of 12 core alarm cable (length dependant
Jumper Wires on placement)

Power Supply ( I was going to use 2 x 9v batteries, but 2 - 5amp Block Connectors (12 wires each)
have decided to use mains powered 9v supply instead
as more reliable) ** ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------**
Screws or strong double sided tape

Hi, I got the lcd and connected as you guided. But now I’m facing a new problem. When I insert the
code,Arduino showing “Redefinition of void setup” please see the attached picture. Please help me
to fix the problem. I’m really excited to complete the project. Waiting for your response. Thanks

Can you please send me a copy of the code you are trying to upload to the arduino. The exactly
the same as you are trying to upload.

Copy code from arduino software to a text file and send that.

Thanks
Hi,
I download your updated code and used directly without any changes. Please see the attached text
file and help me.

Will look at it within the next couple of days. Having to wipe pc, once up and running will let you
know

thanks
Sure. I’ll wait for your reply.
Thanks.

Hello Again

Do you live in the UK. Are you using a Mac or Windows computer. What board are you trying to
upload to.

Hi. I’m from Bangladesh. I’m using Mac. And my board is Arduino uno.
Hi again

I have just tested on my Mac and everything is fine on that.

I have an idea for you to try.

Send me your email address and I will send a link for you to download a zip (compressed) file, this
has the latest Arduino software, the sketch file and all my libraries, plus a text file called
instructions - this outlines what I think will be the best way to sort this out (hopefully).

Download the zip file and un-compress to your desktop, the follow instructions in the text file.

Great..you are awesome. I’m really thankful. Here is my email.

[email protected]
I’ll update you accordingly. Thanks
Email with link has been sent. Good luck.

Hi Nick,
Hope you’re fine and safe.

Sketch has uploaded without any problem. But below issues are happening..
1) lcd showing nothing (blank)(please see the attached picture)
2) momentary switch not working.( I attached a momentary switch diagram.which I understand
from your diagram. please advise it’s ok or not)
3) RFID tag read perfectly but cannot activate the relay module.
4) Bluetooth module connected with BTcontrol android app. but cannot activate the relay module.
I’m using a 5volt relay module instead of a servo to use solenoid lock. Is there any chance to not
working all the things to using the relay module instead of servo?

Please help me.

Thanks & regard

Tutul

Time in the UK is 17:00 now. Will send link tonight UK time once finished sorting my PC.

hi

I have tested the code you sent me on my PC and it is fine and uploaded to arduino uno without
problem. wiill test it on my mac to see if it works on that first. if not will figure out why.
Hi

It sounds as if you do not have the MFRC522 Libraries installed, you can get these from "git hub".
Do a search for MFRC522. Also new code has been uploaded, which you can download.
Hello...please help me

Thank you so much. You’re awesome. Another thing, I didn’t Find the lcd screen in market. Can I
run the project without lcd? If yes than what should be the code. Please help.

Thanks once again

I'm trying to build something similar, but I've seen around the internet that you're supposed to use a
voltage divider on the bluetooth chip's RXD out if you want to use the Arduino 5V TXD (pin 1).. But
you didn't run into any problems? (Link to source: https://www.hackster.io/Notthemarsian/take-
control...)
Hi philipfigari
As you can see from my diagram that I have not used a voltage divider on the HC-06 bluetooth
module. I have had no problems wiring it this way, though a voltage divider can make the voltage
more stable.
Below is a diagram showing how to divide the voltage on the TX/RX line.

Another source, suggesting that a voltage divider should be used to prevent damage to bluetooth
