An Easy Password Base Lock System for Arduino using IR Remote

I searched a little to find any straight and easy to use Code for building a Password based Door Opening and Closing System, but could not find one. So I made a little modification to The IRRemote Library's Default Example and included the Password Library, and with very little effort this Code was Built.I will update after adding the Servo Controlled Sliding Door Code, but for now Here it is if someone else is also searching for the same.

#include <IRremote.h>
#include <Password.h>

Password password = Password( "1234" );

int RECV_PIN = 11;
IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
decode_results results;

void setup()
{
irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.print("Ready");
}

// Compare two tick values, returning 0 if newval is shorter,
// 1 if newval is equal, and 2 if newval is longer
// Use a tolerance of 20%
int compare(unsigned int oldval, unsigned int newval) {
if (newval < oldval * .8) {
return 0;
}
else if (oldval < newval * .8) {
return 2;
}
else {
return 1;
}
}

// Use FNV hash algorithm: FNV Hash
#define FNV_PRIME_32 16777619
#define FNV_BASIS_32 2166136261

/* Converts the raw code values into a 32-bit hash code.

  • Hopefully this code is unique for each button.
    /
    unsigned long decodeHash(decode_results results) {
    unsigned long hash = FNV_BASIS_32;
    for (int i = 1; i+2 < results->rawlen; i++) {
    int value = compare(results->rawbuf
    , results->rawbuf[i+2]);

  • // Add value into the hash*
    hash = (hash * FNV_PRIME_32) ^ value;

  • }*

  • return hash;*
    }
    void loop() {

  • if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {*

  • unsigned long hash = decodeHash(&results);*

  • switch (hash) {*

  • case 0xB7CEF1C7: // 1 (10)*

  • password.append('1');*

  • break;*

  • case 0x3F3C26A7: // 2*

  • password.append('2');*

  • break;*

  • case 0x3021612B: // 3*

  • password.append('3');*

  • break;*

  • case 0x7EFFC747: // 4*

  • password.append('4');*

  • break;*

  • case 0xD8AD1F4B: // 5*

  • password.append('5');*

  • break;*

  • case 0x2CAD10E3: // 6*

  • password.append('6');*

  • break;*

  • case 0x1D924B67: // 7*

  • password.append('7');*

  • break;*

  • case 0xB93DEFA7: // 8*

  • password.append('8');*

  • break;*

  • case 0x12EB47AB: // 9*

  • password.append('9');*

  • break;*

  • case 0x275A9FCB: // 0*

  • password.append('0');*

  • break;*

  • case 0x20934FE3: //Power Button*

  • checkPassword(); *

  • break;*

  • case 0x253F247: //TV/AV *

  • password.reset();*

  • break;*

  • default:*
    _ Serial.print("Unknown ");_
    _ Serial.println(hash, HEX); _

  • }*

  • irrecv.resume(); // Resume decoding (necessary!)*

  • }*
    }
    void checkPassword(){

  • if (password.evaluate()){*
    _ Serial.println("Success");_
    _ Serial.println("Code For Opening Door");_

  • //Add code to run if it works*

  • password.reset();*

  • }else{*
    _ Serial.println("Wrong");_
    _ Serial.println("Please Try Again");_

  • //add code to run if it did not work*

  • }*
    }

Can you upload IRremote.h and password.h please ?

Here are the Lwo Libraries, However you could have just googled too.

int value = compare(results->rawbuf [ i ] , results->rawbuf[i+2]); [ i ] after rawbuf ----- can not be posted ? :slight_smile: ]:slight_smile: ]:slight_smile:

I am a beginner with code so plz forgive the ignorance but what are these lines suppose to be instead of the smiley. Really trying to add this into a gun cabinet in my room. My remote is always within reach so it'd be awesome to get this working!

int compare(unsigned int oldval, unsigned int newval) {
if (newval < oldval * .smiley-cool {
return 0;
}else if (oldval < newval * .smiley-cool {
return 2;
}

OK. I figured that part out but my remote sends a repeat code if the buttons held to long(like a 1/10th second). Is there an easy way of omitting that from the password attempt?

I got it. Just had to add an extra switch case (i think thats what its called) so the begining of the loop looks like this:

void loop() {
if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
unsigned long hash = decodeHash(&results);
switch (hash){
case 0x50C5D1F:
delay(1);
break;
case 0x92DF9279: // 1 (10)
password.append('1');
break;

I will try to add the servo function tomorrow and post it in case anyone comes across this in the future. The smiley are both 8 ) in case anyone else gets confused on that.

// Compare two tick values, returning 0 if newval is shorter,
// 1 if newval is equal, and 2 if newval is longer
// Use a tolerance of 20%
int compare(unsigned int oldval, unsigned int newval) {
if (newval < oldval * .8 ) {
return 0;
}
else if (oldval < newval * .8 ) {
return 2;
