emrine.com on Arduino

Integration of emrine.com QR code-based access control solution on Arduino using an ST7735 1.44" TFT screen and a 4x4 membrane keypad.

emrine.com is a QR code-based access control solution. You can use it to control access to a lock or any electronic devices equipped with a screen and that can receive user input.

User flow

The flow is the following :

• Access is denied, user press "#"
• QR code is shown on the screen
• User scans the QR code and is redirected to emrine.com where a code is displayed
• User enters the code using the keypad and press "#"
• Code is checked on the device. Access is granted if the code is verified

Code

Hardware

For this demo project, the following harware is required :

• Adafruit 1.44" Color TFT LCD Display ST7735 (link) or any ST7735 lcd breakout compatible with Adafruit-ST7735-Library
• 4x4 or 3x4 membrane keypad (link)
• Arduino UNO or Arduino mini

If you are using the 1.8" breakout, you need to update the lcd initializing part to tft.initR(INITR_BLACKTAB);, check the st7735 library examples if using different LCD screens

If you are using a 3x4 keypad, update COLUMN_NUM,keys and pin_column accordingly.

Run the sketch

Open sketch.ino in Arduino IDE

Install the dependencies :

• in "Library Manager", type "keypad" in search and install "Keypad by Mark Stanley, Alexander Brevig"
• in "Library Manager", type "st7735" in search and install "Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789 library"
• in "Library Manager", type "QRCode" in search and install "QRCode by Richard Moore"

Update Device ID and keys

On https://emrine.com, login and create a new device

• update EMRINE_DEVICE_ID according to your own Device_ID

• update EMRINE_KEYA and EMRINE_KEYB respectively to keyA and keyB values

The beginning of your sketch will look like this :

#define EMRINE_DEVICE_ID "AIsPkdwm1weM9CSvQiDR"
#define EMRINE_KEYA 9746
#define EMRINE_KEYB 17869

You can now upload the sketch to your device

Dependencies

• Adafruit-ST7735-Library: library for driving ST7735 display
• QRCode: library for generating QR code
• Keypad: library for getting keypad events
