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 (blink if door is unlocked)
• Brute force protection (locks 10 seconds after a failed authentication, pulsates very fast as a tamper indication)
• 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
• it beeps (as a helping aid)!
• (NEW) it works stand-alone now together with an I²C display (serial still supported)

mode of operation

normal mode

• press the firebutton or put a valid key on the reader
• door will open

admin mode

• press and hold firebutton
• before the long beep ends, put a master key on the reader and hold both firmly
• an upward melody will play; release/remove buttons before it ends
• display will show Program mode:add

exit admin mode

• put master button on the reader again
• a downward melody will play

add keys

• enter #admin mode
• put a new iButton on the reader
• a short high beep will sound upon adding
• display will show Added @ <EEPROM index> and the key ID
• exit by putting master button on the reader again

delete keys

• press firebutton shortly to cycle through the keys
• display will show Program mode:del and the key ID
• put master key on the reader to confirm and go back to admin mode
• a low beep will sound upon deletion
• display will show Deleted @ <EEPROM index>

exit delete keys without deleting keys

• to go to admin mode without deleting keys: press firebutton long (>1s)

hardware

The joystick contains a print that fits snugly, with an Arduino pro mini.

arduino Mega 1280

The print has print connectors, so everything can pop off easy.

You can use a USB to serial adapter (came with the pro mini) for debugging on 115200 baud.

Joystick PCB

The PCB receives power, and uses a 7805 to power the Arduino.

Arduino pins

2: reader pin: reader 'data' pin, 4k7 pull up to 5v

3: led pin: uses pwm heart beat every 5 seconds and blinks fast if the door is unlocked

4: button pin: for use for external opener, pullup (connect to ground to trigger)

5: relay pin: set high to pull relay pin to low

9: buzzer pin: for audio feedback

• 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)

software

const int ledPin    = 3;     // the number of the LED pin (change to 13 to see the onboard led)

const int buttonPin = 4;     // the number of the pushbutton pin

todo

• redundant power supply (in case of power failure)
  • adding a battery (implement stand-by mode, might need a refit of the pull-up)
  • power on LED indicator (for detecting power loss separate from tamper)
• audit the authentication method
• add TVS diode (reader: yellow, GND: blue, VCC: orange-next-to-blue)
• allow admin access only if they are in EEPROM (but still allow key management)
