How it works
Components
- Solenoid Electromagnetic Lock
- Arduino Uno
- NFC RFID MFRC522 Reader Kit 13.56MHz
- Switch Drive High-power MOSFET Trigger Module
- DC Female Power adapter 2.1mm Jack to Screw Terminal Block
Connecting Everything:
First Connect the NFC RFID Reader to Arduino uno.
Second Connect the Solenoid Electromagnetic Lock to the out+ and out- of Switch Drive High Power Mosfet and connect the DC Jack Adapter to in+ and in- of Switch Drive High Power Mosfet
Third Connect the Mosfet to Arduino
Lastly, Connect the 9V Power Adapter to DC Jack Adapter
