Progress

Progress can be divided into 3 sections: the development of keypad modules, the development of the Pi server, and the development of interfacing for the Pi server.

Keypad Modules

• Created initial modules consisting of a keypad attached to an Arduino Mega.
• Created a Fob utility tool to easily enter fobs into system.
• Created a module for the front door that enables allowed people with fobs to be able to enter the MakerSpace.
• Upgrade modules to using Wemos instead of Arduino Mega.
• Add local logging capabilities to modules.

Pi Server

• Create a basic UDP server that can communicate with a Wemos.
• Fully develop a command system between Modules and Pi for easy communication.
  • Write out system commands and how it works.
  • Create a command constructor and a command processor for modules
  • Create a command constructor and a command processor for Pi
  • Test command strings, attempt to break system, update security.
• Transfer current server to Pi.

Pi Interface (Fobber)

• Created initial software that features a login, and the ability to edit a local SQL server.
• Allow for interfacing with SQL server on Pi
• Easy adding/Removal of members
• Two factor authentication
• Remote access to Pi server

Future Feature Ideas

These features are not all necessary for this version of the system but could be nice.

• Create a parent/child system in which a parent fobs in and then a child fobs in if parent fob matches.
• Add modules for tools, which are updated for courses. Ex. You completed Woodworking I and Woodworking II, so you can use tool.
• Two factor authentication. Fob in, then enter the 2FA code from your phone into the keypad.
• Emergency modes.
