Overview

Implementation of a system to control access to Hackspace resources to members who have been trained on that resource and also to allow for occupancy tracking to assist in understanding how the space is used as well as H&S considerations

Areas to be covered

Tooling

  • Small Laser Cutter
  • Large Laser Cutter
  • Fibre Laser Engraver
  • Various 3d Printers

Occupancy

  • Check In / Check Out in fish tank

Implementation

Access nodes, each access node consists of an ESP8266 based system that maintains a local list of users that can access the resource it's connected to.

Information from each access node will be sent via MQTT to a broker, node red will insert the data in to an influxdb database and also post relevant content to relevant slack channel, Grafana or similar will be used to provide a local dashboard. This infrastructure could also be used to take data from esp8266/esp32 based environmental nodes i.e. temperature and humidity readings
