Re: [sudo-access] Keycard access for new omni office?

we probably want to switch to RFID tags instead of magnetic stripe cards, in which case we need to carefully choose a good RFID reader of the right kind. fortunately this has basically already been done at Noisebridge to some extent, as seen in this repository: https://github.com/noisebridge/rfid-access-control the hardware they chose is seen here: https://github.com/noisebridge/rfid-access-control/blob/master/software/fir… tragically, their high-level software is in go: https://github.com/noisebridge/rfid-access-control/tree/master/software/earl so we'll probably continue using doorjam, which is in node and has been working well enough for a while now on the front door, and i'm able to maintain that. i guess the only question is, do we make the new door use RFID tags only, and add an RFID reader to the front door, and then gradually phase out RFID? and that giant box of RFID watches that we have... do they work on these types of readers? that's something we need to find out. basically, you should order a couple of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mifare-RC522-Card-Read-Antenna-RF-Module-RFID-Reade… and we will start playing with it to make something work. In the meantime, we already have at least two electrically-operated door strikes, that look SORT OF like this: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41njszNqHGL._SY355_.jpg you can install one in the door you're talking about and get it working physically, and then we'll be much closer to finishing the whole job. -jake On Wed, 2 Nov 2016, David Keenan wrote:
