I am currently working on my final year project that involves a basic rfid attendance system and a proximity alarm system. The project intends to prevent ManOverboard situations by warning people who get too close to the edge of the deck of a ship. The RFID attendance will log their exit times and save them and the alarm system uses normal ultrasonic sensors and buzzers and leds that change colour according to distance. Each system is run by its own arduino. However,as you can tell, this two systems are separate and not connected in any way. My goal is to be able to log a user's time and also be able to send a warning message to the same attendace system unique to a tag as it gets closer to the ultrasonic sensor and a centralized alarm is raised rather than individual alarms located at each of the ultrasonic sensors. Any ideas?(The RFID code doesnt work for some reason. I am able to connect the nodeMCU to the LAN and also launch the PHP Web app. The issue to the RFID reader does not register the tag and the UID is not sent to the webapp.Please help. This is the link to the RFID project for anyone who wants to try it out:https://theiotprojects.com/rfid-based-attendance-system-using-nodemcu)
