Guidance help with parts on digital lock project
Hello, I'm a senior in EE and it's time for the semester project, after our chairman shot down most everyone's project ideas multiple times, I believe I got an 'ok' on this one but would like some guidance on parts to use.
My idea is a digital lock like you would put on a house/company, etc door.
Features I would like to build in are 0-9 keypad, manual key override, and a wireless remote lock/unlock (like keymotes used on car doors).
I would like to use a microcontroller in this project because our professor is hinting it must have a uC and pcb design. Which I'm fine by but have experience only with PIC18F8680 only from a previous course.
I figure before I start staring at more simple schematics to implement this it would be nice if someone knew of a better microcontroller or model for this use? And my team is combating whether to use RF or IR for the wireless? Since it will be battery powered, I was thinking 9-12V range.
Any further ideas or advice will be appreciated, I came up with this project because I really want further experience with a microcontroller, and haven't used relays or done a wireless thing before. And this seemed to have a nice feel to it without torturing too much.
Thanks~

Harshad ItaliyaYou can replace PIC controller with simple ATMEL or NXP(PHILIPS) 8051 or 8052. -
jetdolleteDo some research about other digital locks. Study them on how they work. Go to this site to learn more about the details, #-Link-Snipped-#.
