Open Access Control - Issues with v1.0 and v2.0 hardware
First off, the v2.x hardware has been very reliable and is installed at a number of locations. There are some quirks to this system however, especially since it was designed without ever having seen a commercial unit. Here are some things we would like to improve.
List of Limitations in the 2.x Hardware
- No Separate power or ground for each sensor input (1 sensors = 2 screw terminals)
- More consistent labeling desirable(some items start with 0, others with 1)
- Screw terminals obscure labels of pinouts.
- Standardize Wiegand and other pin layout and order
- Removable screw terminals (3.5 or 5mm) desirable for servicing
- Need to label NO, C, O for relay terminals
- Increased separation of trace spacing near relays
- Double ground planes need stitch vias for better immunity
- Eliminate ground plane around external relay traces
- Readers with <100uS pulses require external capacitors to work
- Break out ICSP pins from Arduino
- Consider adding an Arduino reset switch footprint
- Grounded components hard to solder. Consider going to a grid for ground plane
- Better regulator footprint or more spacing for heat sink
- Need more inputs and outputs for Wiegand reader beeper, LEDs
- Consider Arduino Mega support
- Look at RTC crystal and pick best temperature-compensation range
- Think about on-board Ethernet
- Option for RS-485
- Option for SD card for local logging. Consider file system.
- Control costs (SMT design, cheaper components in some areas
- Switching PSU circuit
- Replace opto-isoloators with ESD absorbing devices. May also allow bi-directional support.
- Consider CPU that will handle encryption
Software Improvements
- Allow for server time syncing
- Re-number user database starting with 1 instead of 0
- Rewrite interrupt code to not need wrapper function
- Make interactive user editing more friendly
- Need to save unedited fields
- Allow for SD card logging
- Consider SD card storage for user database
- Allow for connection to SQL database
