At last, Directory Opus is compatible with Windows 7.
That means not having to use the DREADFUL interface of windows explorer anymore.
Directory Opus
One of the best software packages I have bought in a long time.
Currently in version 9.5

PIC's & RFID's 2
Im a happy bunny,
I've got the card entry system working now
One card allows entry the other sets off the alarms
Once the correct card is detected, a pass code has to be entered.
Wrong code, (Or wrong card) sets off the alarms and a reset code is needed.
Program developed using Flowcode 4, and Martix Multimedia Hardware
Next stages
Add more acceptable cards by storing them in the system.
Add more security by using the whole of the cards ID rather than the first byte of it.
Add a bigger colour display to allow better messages

PIC's & RFID's
Having another "play" with the PIC System.
Just added an RFID card reader module to it. This comes with a selection of cards to experiment with,
Been writing a simple card entry door lock system.
At the moment it will activate a relay if one specific card is inserted, and turn on the alarm with any other.
The cards all have a unique ID programmed into them. The current system is simple and uses only the first byte of the UID. Using the full one will make it more secure but needs a lot more program code.

Thoughts
Having a long weekend this one
Today , went and got measured up for new specs. One pair for seeing and one for reading/pc work etc.
Tomorrow is the Leicester Radio Rally, though its not been in Leicester for many years. The last 10 its been at the exhibition centre at Donnington race track. Now thanks to Bernie E, its had to move since the centre was demolished.
Now at Loughborough University. Lets see what goodies I can find there.
Final thought for the day.
1 in 10 people understand binary, the other one doesn't
