The Contactless Car Unlocking System allows a user to unlock a car with a specific NFC card instead of using a physical key. NFC-compatible bank cards, student ID cards, etc. may be scanned at the sensor location to remotely press the unlock button inside of the car using a 5V relay. The system is powered by the car’s battery which is stepped down to a low enough voltage with a voltage regulator. All components are interfaced through a custom printed circuit board (PCB) and housed in a 3D printed enclosure.
Components:
A custom 4-layer PCB includes power management, the microcontroller, and peripherals.
The program runs in three separate threads to manage the NFC scanner and uLCD at the same time.
