Weekend project completed today !! (PS : using cloned Arduino only for testing purposes)

What is the purpose of the project?

RFID based lock for two wheelers

Do you use the 'official' Arduino IDE or have you found a better one?

@gathurian i use notepad

I recommend using vscode for it

@ShotgunSurgeon I do have vscode and I love it but its not that popular as compared to sublime text I guess it needs more recognition

@GurvirBhogal I like sublime, too but I meant to use vscode for arduino development. there are good plug-ins and if I remember correctly even the arduino page has a tutorial on how to use it for development

It's not a sin to use an Arduino clone since the whole Arduino project is open source.. (to be precise there is no clone)

@GurvirBhogal VSCode was probably THE most popular code editor in 2018, so I'd day it's plenty popular 😅
I prefer Sublime myself, modtly because it runs natively on Windows and is not based on electron (i.e starts way faster)

Are there motorized locks you can buy for these things?

@beegC0de yes there are key sockets which you can buy for locking and unlocking purposes ;)

@gathurian I never had any startup issues with vscode they both start pretty quick on the other hand vscode may be the most popular but still its not as widely used as sublime, people switch back to sublime 🤷🏻‍♂️

Cool peoject :) how did you make it safe? Until now i just used rfid for industrial automation processes, never programmed it on hardware level.. How is it made safe? Maaaay you share the code with me/us? :)

@borderless RFID is does not provide high level of security its just an additional parameter we use for security for vehicle locking and unlocking, other parameters include location tracking using GA6 GPRS/GSM module if any security breaches is found a call or notification would be sent to the owner. Ill share you the code once I am done 😇
