ESP-RFID
Summary
Introduction to the ESP-RFID access control system
Requirements
- a ESP8266 microcontroller board with at least 4 MBytes flash memory or the official relay board
- a RC522, PN532, Wiegand, or RDM6300 RFID reader
- ESP-RFID firmware from GitHub
- a firmware flashing tool of your choice (on Windows not required)
Description
The ESP-RFID is an open-source RFID access control system that uses ESP8266 microcontroller board and one of the required RFID readers that is able to unlock doors. The administrator of the system is able to add up to 1000 users to the access controll system.
Setup
First you have to physically connect the RFID reader with the ESP8266 microcontroller board.
The pin connection can be taken from the following table.
| ESP8266 | NodeMcu/WeMos | Wiegand | PN532 | MFRC522 | RDM6300 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPIO-15 | D8 | SS | SDA/SS | ||
| GPIO-13 | D7 | D0 | MOSI | MOSI | |
| GPIO-12 | D6 | D1 | MISO | MISO | |
| GPIO-14 | D5 | SCK | SCK | TX | |
| GPIO-04 | D2 | ||||
| GPIO-05 | D1 |
Webinterface
After the initial setup the ESP8266 microcontroller board broadcasts a public network
