ABSTRACT
This project report describes the design and construction of an electronic door lock which uses a microcontroller as the main control unit. The project’s objective was to interface this microcontroller with an LCD, keypad and a DC motor. However, programming the PIC chip to perform a task like identifying an authorised user is also among the objectives of this project. Codes were developed in assembly language, complied, debugged and downloaded to the PIC microcontroller. These codes actually controls the activities of every other component attached to the microcontroller. The unique feature of this project is the use of LCD to display information to users and ability to change an unlock code as many times as necessary. It has two operational modes; the first modes only deactivates the lock while the other allows a user to change an unlock code. Only authorised users are granted access to the secured place. An authorised user is any person who can provide a correct Personal Identification Number (PIN). The lock mechanism is made of a spring controlled lock attached to a DC motor. When the motor receives an appropriate signal, it pulls away a cross pin which leaves the lock inactive. The spring in the lock pulls the cross pin back to activate the lock when the motor stops receiving signal. From the prototype constructed, a test was performed in real world environment. The test evaluates the system with all of the hardware and software components integrated. The goal was to emulate a real lock system and to monitor the response of the lock under odd situations for a given period of time. The test results obtained confirmed that the lock will serve in places where access control is required. The functionality of the lock can be enhanced by incorporating it with a computer and software that will allow for multiple users. With a computer, records of each user can be stored and retrieved when needed.
