Description

I have had an old and, not surprisingly, a dilapidated desk lamp for a long time and I thought it would be more effective and useful by getting upgraded with an MFRC522 RFID reader. But I, also, wanted to personalize it by using a specialized color pattern to turn the lamp off, hence the use of potentiometers and RGB led.

How to use an MFRC522 RFID Reader

First of all, download MFRC522 library from this link.

1 ) Solder male headers to MFRC522 RFID reader with a soldering iron carefully.

2 ) If you do not save or register an UID to EEPROM, use the function - registerCardUID() - below by uncommenting it from setup().

Figure - 13.3

3 ) After saving get the UID from EEPROM by using this function.

Figure - 13.4

4 ) And the final step, just compare the saved UID and the UID read by MFRC522 to turn the lamp and control led on.

Connections

Components connections are well-explained at the source code down below, make sure defining RST and SS pins properly.

Connect all components to Arduino Nano.

Rearrange your lamp parts to make components fit in it perfectly.

And then, sturdier all components via a hot glue gun.

Features

ON :

When MFRC522 RFID reader reads the same UID saved by EEPROM accurately.

- Turn control led and the lamp turn on.

OFF :

When all potentiometer values are turned into zero.

Red Potentiometer Value = 0;
Green Potentiometer Value = 0;
Blue Potentiometer Value = 0;

- Turn control led, RGB led and the lamp off.

// Supersede your old desk lamp with a new one controlled by an RFID tag or card and personalize it with an RGB color pattern to turn the lamp off.
// You can register a new UID with the code below by turning it into uncommented.
// By using three potentiometer, you can adjust RGB led color scheme.
// In this case, for turning the lamp off, you have to make all potentiometer values zero. But, if you want to change this pattern, you can change it in the UID() function.  
// ON :
// When the UID is accurate and controlLed is HIGH.
// OFF :
// Red Potentiometer Value = 0
// Green Potentiometer Value = 0
// Blue Potentiometer Value = 0
