Power supply

The most important factor to define the structure of the project was the power supply the bigger
inconvenient we had was the active time lapse the prototype had. The current that the whole
components of the system consume was to elevated so the system of batteries that we hose was
inefficient during just one day if we use four AA batteries so to take front to this challenge.
We add up a system that uses an eliminator to solve the problem of the power supply.

Nevertheless, there still persists one factor what would happen if the hotel runs out of electricity?
so we take the decision of use the batteries as a backup power supply system by adding a relay
that disactivated once that the voltage get off allowing the batteries feed the system.
Designing
To make up our Project we decides to use solidworks to design the covers of the mechanism and
the lock system, the first step was to take up all the measurement of the components that we need
as is shown in the picture …. taking in account the next list
Device Measurements

Node MCU 49*24.5*13 mm

solenoid 49*38*24mm

Battery holder 63 9* 57.8 * 15.5 mm

MT3608 BOOST CONVERTER 36* 17* 14mm

Here we cn see the scketh of te dimentions of ech component taking in acount the dimentions of
each component and the organiztion an cnectin of them we decides to build up the box
The we made up the 3D model of the lock taking in account the system of the door and also the
components locking just for one side (front side of the door) clean to get good contact between
the Rfid lector and the card.
