Example code

```
#include <SPI.h>
#include <MFRC522.h>

MFRC522 mfrc522(SS_PIN, RST_PIN);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  mfrc522.PCD_Init();
}

void loop() {
  if (mfrc522.PICC_IsNewCardPresent()) {
    if (mfrc522.PICC_ReadCardSerial()) {
      Serial.println("Card detected!");
    }
  }
}
```

Mini project

Create a simple access system with a locked chain door and the RFID keypad. Set a code and check if the system works.

Common mistakes

Frequently asked questions

The RFID keypad does not read correctly.
Check the hardware configuration and the code. Verify the keypad compatibility with the Arduino.

What is the difference between Arduino Uno and compatible versions?
Arduino Uno and compatible versions have the same interface and can run the same code, but they are not the same hardware.

Can I use another Arduino board?
Yes, but it may require code and hardware connection modifications.
