Raspberry Pi Smart Locker System with RFID Access Control

Project Summary:

This project showcases a Raspberry Pi-powered Smart Locker System designed for secure access management. The system uses RFID authentication to unlock the locker only for authorized users. It can be extended with cloud connectivity, logging, camera monitoring, QR code access, and mobile notifications, making it suitable for smart storage, parcel lockers, office cabinets, and educational projects. This system allows the user to manage the password in pattern or numeric form.

Features:

RFID-based authentication
Raspberry Pi control unit
Electronic lock integration
User access logging
Expandable IoT functionality
Real-time monitoring capability
Secure access management

Components Used:

Raspberry Pi
RFID Reader (RC522)
RFID Cards/Tags
Electronic Solenoid Lock
Relay Module
Power Supply
Jumper Wires
3D Printed Locker Controller Enclosure

How It Works:

1. The user scans an RFID card.
2. Raspberry Pi verifies the card ID.
3. Authorized users trigger the lock mechanism.
