Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to control access using RFID cards, solenoids, and an inductive sensor. The system includes an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller, RFID readers, solenoids, inductive sensors, relays, a buzzer, and an LCD display. The circuit allows authorized access through RFID cards and monitors the door status using inductive sensors. Unauthorized access triggers an alarm.
