Check Out Phidget's RFID-Wireless Deadbolt System

Friday, December 14, 2007

Using a Phidget RFID Kit, a Kwikset Powerbolt 1000, relays, a PC board, wire, and some basic software, a couple of guys managed to piece together a unique new wireless door locking system. Gizmodo’s got the link to the YouTube video here.

As they say, “RFID locks are nothing new, but this lock can be controlled via an RFID key fob, laptop or even a cellphone. As you will see, the concept demonstrated has potential but it still needs some more tinkering to be truly practical.” [end]
