RFID Garage door opener

[gohan]

If I unplug the nrf24 and use the original wiring with the demo sketch I can read the tags. I checked with multimeter from arduino to the rfid pins and they are OK. But I'll be ordering the newer board that supports nfc

Hello all,

I am very new to arduino and all this stuff. This rfid garage opener ist exactly what i am lookibg for as my first project. But i have problems compiling the code with arduino ide. I get error notifications regarding the .h files. Do I have to include them in my arduino ide folders? Can someone please tell me where to find them? And where i have to save them?

It would be very nice if someone helps me!

Thanks

It would help if you share your error messages.
In general I would say, read the messages and (try to) interpret them (google?).

@thomas84 of course you need to install the libraries from library manager for all the Includes

Hello all,

Thanks for your answers! Yesterday I could finish the uploading to the arduino nano. Now I wanted to test the garage opener and did the connections like in the picture at the top of this. But nothing is hapening 😞 Even the red light led ist not on. Do I have to "start" the programm some how?

Thanks for your help!

I got issues too when I tryed the MFRC522 and couldn't get it working with the NFR24, you might have better luck using the I2C model

[thomas84]

Why is the NFR24 needed at all?

I was Looking for the best garage Door Openers and some other issues related to their installation and so i found this discussion.I want some suggestions that which will be best and good quality garage door opener? also i saw somewhere that it may start making noises and it may have small range so which will be the quietest and longer range with best in quality.

Are you looking for an rfid system or just a radio remote control?
