RFID Booking System Guidance

Using Arduino Project Guidance
#1

Hi all, I'm in the process of creating an RFID booking system with Arduino if anyone has any support they can offer for this and I'm currently encountering an error with this (please check attachments)

Many thanks!

No, not using the phone. Attache code the way told in the advicing topics.

Fine. What's the error You encount? (My chrystall ball is not on duty).

#5

Personally, due to ignorance, I don't use return or break in the middle of the code.
If the second if returns the code will quickly execute the first if again. Is that okey?
Use one if and proceed if it's positive, and again.....

#6

Seem to be getting the issue:

Firmware Version: 0x0 = (unknown)
WARNING: Communication failure, is the MFRC522 properly connected?
Scan PICC to see UID, SAK, type, and data blocks..
#7

Let’s wait for a helper having detailed knowledge about those things. I don’t se where that message would come from.
Highly time for sleeping here, 4 AM…

Now expain, in detail, how you have everything wired.

#9

This is my pin wiring:

SDA Digital 10
SCK Digital 13
MOSI Digital 11
MISO Digital 12
IRQ unconnected
GND GND
RST Digital 9
3.3V 3.3V
#10

OK- I also need to know WHAT MFRC522 board (With a link) you have.

#11

I just had a look at your images, you need to apply flux and resolder the pins, I would not trust that soldering.
