A solution is a control device consisting of a box which enables the machine for as long as your RFID card is in the box. This can also act as an automatic electronic logbook for the device.

The Hackspace will agree to buy at least 3 of these and will pay a reasonable premium to someone who can design, build and test them. This sounds like it could be a nifty commercial project with relatively few modifications.


==Functional Specs==
 
==Current implementation==
Overall setup: [[Project:Tool_Access_Control/ACNet]]
Current generation access control nodes: [[Project:Tool_Access_Control/ACNode-cl]]
Current tool deployment progress : * [[Project:Tool_Access_Control/Deployment]]
 
==Olde==
===Potential design===
* [[Project:Tool_Access_Control/Solexious_Proposal]]
* <s>Dual-USB Bifferboard (£45), Touchatag reader (£27)</s>
* Single USB bifferboard (£35), Cheap chinese RFID reader (£18, serial)
* One of the more fancy STM32s or other SOCs might be able to drive costs down further.
* Raspberry Pi (£27.21) + Touchatag (£14.83) + USB relay (£5.17) + capacitor + SD card
* Launchpad tiva-c TM4C1294 + PN532 breakout board
 
===Functional Specs===


* Relay contacts of at least 10 amps for switching the device. Hard-wired in using suitable grommets and with sufficient isolation between low and high voltage.
