I built a treasure chest which opens if a riddle is solved. To prove that the riddle is solved, the players need to put the correct three RFID/NFC tokens (out of several tokens to choose from) onto three RFID readers in the correct order. If they fail too often, a curse is uttered! In this post I describe the hardware selection, the electronics, the assembly and the software.

Using PB6/7 of ATmega328P with Arduino IDE
The Goal For a small project I used the ATmega328P MCU – and then the small project somewhat exploded and I needed more and more I/O-Pins. Suddenly all but the PB6 and PB7 pins were in use, and I needed exactly two more… The Arduino IDE did not offer pin numbers for these pins, since they are used for the crystal oscillator on Arduino. My project however did not rely on ultra precise timing, so the internal oscillator was more than enough, leaving the two pins open for other use, but how to address them? I guess with Atmel Studio this […]
