synopsis

knock knock.

current implementation

The now working ACKsess implementation has several advantages over the old broken one, that broke.

• Heartbeat: it pulsates the LED every 5 seconds or so, to indicate it's active
• Better feedback (fast blink if door is unlocked)
• Brute force protection (locks 30 seconds after a failed authentication)
• Faster response (shortened the delay for faster response)
• Opens on powerup/reset. This way, the reset button can be used to open the door
• Various code cleanup/alignment/update

hardware

Xopr placed his Arduino mega 1280 (clone) to get it working quickly (still took him all day to get back on track).

arduino Mega 1280

Used the arduino to get it working quickly, new design should be underway (by someone else). Xopr made a mini prototype shield where the onewire pullup sits, the NPN transistor (to switch the 12Vin via the relay to ground), the LED, external button and some extra ground connections.

You can add a usb A to B cable for debugging on 115200 baud.

proto shield

The shield fetches power and uses some of the digital I/O 0 to 7.

Arduino pins

1. TxD, not used
2. relay pin, set high to pull breakout pin X to low
3. led pin, uses pwm heart beat every 5 seconds and blinks fast if the door is unlocked
4. reader pin: the onewire data pin
5. button pin: for use for external opener, pullup (connect to ground to trigger)

breakout pins:

'__________

• The NPN transistor used is a BC548 (goes up to 500mA), drived with a 100-300 something ohm resistor on the base (from the top of my head).
• Note that is has a diode (1n4000 something) antiparallel between collector and emittor as coil reverse voltage protection
• The onewire pull up used is 4k7 to 5v

DS9092L iButton probe

I had to reverse engineer the wiring somewhat (connector was gone), but here it is: DS9092L iButton probe datasheet Pinout:

1. GND (blue)
2. Data (onewire) (green)
3. LED cathode (-) (yellow)
4. LED anode (+) (orange)

todo

• have battery backup (implement stand-by mode, might need a refit of the pull-up)
• check if we need a power-on-lock or power-off-lock, and add an appropriate power design
• someone needs to make a 2.0 version that fits in the designated casing (the awesome joystick), but up until that time, the current implementation will suffice.
• audit the authentication method
• Create better method to store and revoke keys on the whole
