Hey guys,
I am working on making an automatic Dog Door, one that will open when my dog walks up to it, but won't open for other animals. I know how to get it to open but I have never done any wireless stuff before. So I was wondering how would you recommend I get the door to detect my dog, I thought about using IR LEDs (on the dog collar) and sensors on the door but that won't really work in bright light.
As RFID and RF seem like two viable options can you guys link me to a good tutorial or something to get me started as I don't know anything about them.
