A project that, using the 125kHz RFID scanner, SSD1306 OLED Display and an ESP32, creates an ID Scanner which logs the ID as well as the time it was scanned onto a HTML server hosted by the ESP as well as onto the OLED Display

A detailed guide to this project can be found in the form of a blog post here
- 125kHz RFID tag reader board
- Display OLED I2C 0.96" SSD1306
- Dasduino CONNECTPLUS (ESP32)
- 125kHz RFID card
- A WiFi connection
- A Device capable of accessing a Web Browser
- If you haven't already, install Arduino IDE
- Download this repository and extract it
- Start the arduino sketch located in RFID_Work_Logger_Project/RFID_Work_Logger.ino
- Click on the Boards Manager icon on the left and search for esp32 by Espressif and install it
- In the Select other board or menu... dropdown menu pick the ESP32 Dev Module and the serial port it is connected to
- Install all of the libraries mentioned under Software requirements
- Fill out the following variables with your credentials:
// Wi-Fi credentials (set your SSID + password here)
const char* ssid = "YOUR_SSID_HERE";
const char* password = "YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE";
// Time servers and timezone
const char* ntpServer1 = "pool.ntp.org";
const char* ntpServer2 = "time.nist.gov";
const char* tz = "CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3"; // use your timezone- Run the sketch
- After the code is uploaded and the RFID scanner as well as the OLED Display are initialized, the display will show the IP address of the server which hosts the logging data
- Open that IP address in your web browser (while connected to the same network as the ESP32 board) and you will be able to see the ID of the card scanned as well as the time stamp when it happened
