Arduino: RFID Door Locking System

Using an Arduino Deumilanove to control a servo motor which rotates to either lock or unlock a door. The servo motor would be replaced with an Electric Strike door lock and a solenoid driving a deadbolt, however due to costs for the prototype we simulated the effect with a servo.

The system checks for an RFID tag, when one is present, it then asks for a pincode. If incorrect, it will ask for it again, otherwise it will print the name coded to the tag in a welcome message, and send this to the GLCD screen, unlocking the door for 5 seconds, and relocking it after.

I had the exact same idea, and I just finished building mine today! But does yours have ptr? (Push To Release)

@AKSoapy29 Not sure what you mean by push to release; do you mean the servo motor? This is controlled using the Arduino code, telling it where 0 is, and asking it to move through 90 degrees clockwise for opening and counter-clockwise for closing. I've described how everything else works in the description :)
