Access Control System

A project designed to manage door access using various authentication methods.

Technologies Used

Backend

• C#
  • The backend is developed in C#, handling communication between the user interfaces (Discord and REST API) and the core access control logic.

Core

• ESP32
  • The core of the system is built around the ESP32 microcontroller, programmed in C++ using PlatformIO. The ESP32 manages the physical access control mechanisms, such as door locking and unlocking.

2.1- Open the Solution File.

2.2- Configure the application using environment variables & database records.

2.3- Build & Run the application.

Core

3.1- Install PlatformIO:

• Make sure you have PlatformIO installed in your IDE (VS Code recommended). If not, follow the installation guide here.

3.2- Open in VS Code:

• Open the src/ACS_Core folder in VS Code.
• PlatformIO will automatically detect the environment.

3.3- Connect your Board:
Connect an ESP32 Board (or any board with any ESP32 module) to your computer via USB.

3.3- Select the Environment:
Make sure the correct environment is selected in platformio.ini. You can modify this file if needed.

3.4- Upload the Code:

• Click on the PlatformIO icon in the sidebar.
• Under "PROJECT TASKS," select your environment.
• Click on "Upload" to compile and upload the code to your board.
