The Raspberry Pi II both checks whether or not a maker is authorized by readingthe maker’s RFID card (UID) and references the database as to whether the scanned UID isauthorized for the resource attempting to be accessed. If the maker is authorized, power to theresource will flow through the SSR, allowing access to the resource. The system has beendesigned with a card slot since the RFID card must remain on the scanner in order for theresource to remain operable.
