MFRC522 stops working after some hours

. . .

Also, how do I add it to the gallery you have linked @6v6gt?
. . .

At the most basic level, you simply open a new thread in that (sub) forum in the same way as you opened this thread here in the "General Electronics" forum.
Good is to provide sufficient information so that it is clear what it does and, for those who so wish, how to build it.
Ideal would be:
General Description, with feature list and picture(s)
Schematic
Parts list (if not clear from the schematic)
Code

This is one example I put in there, but it not necessary to go down to the same level of detail to provide something useful and/or interesting for others: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=693007.0

Alright, cool!

I also built an entire website for the project using PHP, HTML, MySQL, etc... 

Should I share this as well even though it's not Arduino-related?


Kind regards, 
Alex

p.s. love the mail detector idea

If you feel like it, you can add the website codes etc. I would think that providing some images of the website should be sufficient.

It's part of your project so if I were you, I would add something

Ok thanks and I agree with @sterretje.

I did one project, also with a similar web interface, using an esp8266 and an Internet Lamp server service, and published all design details with the code including php, html and the MySQL table and view structure. There is not a huge amount of html because, for updating configuration tables etc., I use the built in php admin functions. It is here, a telephone spam filter : https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=528459.0

I guess you then have then moved the tables with card ID, name etc. from progmem to sql tables.

Hey,

sorry for opening this thread again, but when I changed my code to enable the LCD screen, the compiler spit out the following warnings:

Code: [Select]

The Arduino and the LCD screen still work well, but I was wondering whether this is something I should be worried about this.

Kind regards,
Alex

Only one of those warnings is from the LCD library and it warns of an unused parameter, which is untidy but usually harmless.

The one from the MFRC522 Library appears to be a crude test to check if a pointer has been set and is probably harmless.

The one from the Ethernet library appears to be a rough attempt to swap two bytes in a word. I guess the author knows what he is doing.

Usually with mature libraries, if everything appears to work, you can ignore the warnings. Important is, if your own code generates warnings, you should look carefully at them.

You always have the option of finding such libraries, that is the ones generating the warnings, on Github and opening an issue if you are concerned about them.
