Help with access control using RFID

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

Hello guys!

So i'm relatively new to arduino and i've just done a few basic projects on it. I'm planning on doing Access control using RFID technology and need a bit of help from you guys.

So i basically want to integrate the EM-18 RFID reader and tags into arduino and want to open a door and display the name of the tag holder and time logged on in a LCD display.

So apart from EM-18 RFID reader i'm going to use DS3231 real time clock module to create a time stamp during login. and for the output i'll basically use a motor to turn a piece of cardboard, just to show that when a tag is read and accepted the motor starts working. and if a tag Id isn't detected it should display Access denied.

So I have the basic idea in mind but don't know how to move forward. If anyone game give me a direction on what more components ill be needing and how to go on about this, I'd be grateful.

Thank you in advance.

Break the project down into manageable chunks .
Write something to get the RFID but working . Seperately get the clock working. Similar for working the LCD.
If you can make seperate procedures for these ( you might have to learn that bit) toucan then look at assembling the parts together .
