Arduino Tutorial for Beginners – RFID RC522 with Arduino Uno




In this post on Arduino Tutorial For Beginners, this topic about how to use module RFID RC522 with Arduino UNO R3. With this simple tutorial, we can apply this application to control the huge things in our life. E.g: Door lock, box lock , motorbike lock, student check-in,… this is an example about how to create a box lock using RFID RC522: How to Make an RFID Arduino Lock | Arduino RFID Lock Tutorial

The picture below is the module which i will use in this article and also in the video above, this module help us read RF tag or RF card when we put them near the module, it operate at 13.56Mhz, the module is quite stable and cheap for beginner who want to create DIY projects. This module support 3 protocol to communicate with Arduino, those are UART , I2C and SPI, but i will use the SPI because almost the Arduino community use this. This is the RFID library using SPI : https://github.com/miguelbalboa/rfid

RFIDmodule

After downloaded RFID library as .ZIP file from github, we will follow below picture and then browse to the .ZIP file, select and add to Arduino IDE.

Addlib

Next, we will connect module RFID as the diagram below

—GND—|–GND–|

Okay, now let’s check our RFID module still working or not by an example “firmware_check” in default RFID library. If you can see your information RFID module as the video, your module is still good.

Firmwarecheck

If your RFID module still working. Next, we will read the RF card information from example “rfid_default_key” to prepare to control our devices (led,servo,…).
Firmwarecheck

After uploaded “rfid_default_key” project to Arduino, when we put the RF card near the RFID module, Arduino will print RF card information to Serial Monitor as the picture below, we just care first 4 bytes or 5 bytes which are card address, we can use them to identify cards.
Use the url below to convert HEX to DECIMAL, and the ADDRESS of the redbox after converted is “103 235 225 052”, but remember REMOVE SPACE AND DIGIT “0” if the ADDRESS has 2 digits. https://www.branah.com/ascii-converter

Now, let’s connect a led to Arduino as the picture below and move to code section 😀
