 V. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
E. Circuit Design The result of the project in the first part of the code which
is by scanning the UID of the RFID Tag and the system scan
the UID which it was displayed in the LCD. After that the UID
of the RFID Tag was inputted in the second code, which it
means that RFID Tag will be recognized by the RFID-RC522
Module when scan. Testing the whole circuit using the second
code, by tapping the RFID Tag to the RFID-RC522 Module
the Tag that was registered to the program will have the access
to open and lock the solenoid. While the Tag that was
unregistered to the program will not have the access to it.
Then the part that they added more Tag to be recognize by
adding another loop in the code and it was successfully run
properly and both the Tag that was used is recognized by the
RFID-RC522 Module during the testing.
