Project: Gnocchi
Date:August 2006
Summary:
Gnocchi pronounced "No Key" is a RFID enabled deadbolt. The design
was developed by Amal Graafstra. Amal has produced a great book
called "RFID Toys" and later
came out with the bonus
chapter that contained the lock design I used in this project.
I only made three changes from Amal's design which cut down on cost
and power.
- Replaced Basic Stamp microcontroller with AVR Mega16
- Used batteries in deadbolt to power microcontroller and RFID reader
- Added a button to enable power to microcontroller and RFID reader
