as we use more and more Fabman in our FabLab, we think more what we can do with it. One thing which we had in our heads for a while was simple device just for doors. Fabman bridge is very nice piece of HW, but for managing access through the door is bit pricey so we developed our own small reader.
We would like to share it with you so you can here find all HW and FW files. We are using it on 3 doors for at least 2 month and we have no issue with it so if you want to manage your doors via Fabman, you can use this device.
Door reader act as Fabman bridge so you have to setup equipment in Fabman admin area, generate API key for it and setup reader very similar way as original bridge device.
Oh, wow. Nice work! Thank you for sharing this with everyone! I will definitely take a look at it.
Do you have some images of the disassembled unit? (PCB, etc.)
What kind of printer did you use for the multi-colored case? A Prusa Multi-Material or something else?
Sorry for late reply, I had to take some pictures. I added them to Github so you can look there .
I printed case with normal 3D printer (Prusa i3 MK3S) without MMU unit. I just edited gcode file and I had to switch filament few times, but logo is just in 2 layers so that was not big problem. Window for LED is cut from diffused acrylic but there is bit problem to mount it inside of the case, so I want to try print this window from some clear filament. Case can be also printed with some multimaterial unit, which will be much more easier.
I did not count it exactly, but it can be roughly $15 - 20 in parts (without assembly work). We have some spare PCB´s so if anyone is interesting in this, just write me here or PM me .
Hi, we have doors with Assa Abloy 460 and 560 locks. I guess that it could work with much cheaper locks, but it really depend on what doors are you using.
Hi.
I’m working through this and will be trying to adapt it for our needs. Right now I’m just trying to compile the firmware and hitting some walls.
WiFiManager (https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/tree/development)-) no longer exists at that address. I did add WiFiManager by that user (Tzapu) in Platformio but it’s looking for “.pio/libdeps/esp32dev/WiFiManager/WiFiManager.h:16:25: fatal error: ESP8266WiFi.h: No such file or directory”. I’ve added ESP8266WiFi but it still dies right there.
Any hints on what might be wrong? I know I’m using PlatformIO instead of the Arduino IDE, but the library dependencies should be the same.
OK, it looks like esp8266wifi.h is part of the esp8266 board config. This appears to be built on esp32 so I’ll have to look into why it’s being called from wifimanager and how to get it onto the installed libraries.
Thanks. I have the board set as ESP32. I have WWiFiManager, as described in the doc, and it appears that’s what’s looking foor the esp8266 library mentioned above.
