This is my electronic codelock to use with an outdoor gate. The lock itself is implemented in software. It operates a relay (for example to open a door) for a few seconds if someone enters the valid code. The secret code can be changed any time after entering the current code. Note that in this application it’s not necessary to make an exact clock frequency with crystal (as seen on the schematic diagram), you can also use an RC type oscillator or other crystals.
I have the codelock design on my webpage for long and it is really poular. But it had some weaknesses like source code complexity, it needed an external 74LS138 and diodes because it was built on a general protoboard. Therefore I totally rewrote and redesigned it with simplicity in mind. The old design is still available here.
software
The version 2 codelock software has cool new features:
low power consumption due to keyboard wake-up
stores the code in the internal DATA EEPROM
the length of the code is user definable (actual is 4 numbers)
the running frequency is adjustable (actual is 10MHz)
output pulse width is adjustable (actual is 3 seconds)
code can be changed any time
The source code is freely downloadable. This is written for the PIC16F84, but you can easily adapt it to newer controllers like the 16F628, OTP versions with or without internal EEPROM. The first few lines contain the definitions of changeable parameters. If you are lazy, here is a compiled HEX file of the source intended to use with 10MHz crystal and P16F84(A). The codelock will work fine regardless of the actual frequency (the crystal you use) of PIC running, but the timing loop is calibrated to the frequency defined in the code (10MHz)
operation
The keyboard, which is organized into a matrix looks like this:
COL0
COL1
COL2
COL3
ROW0
1
2
3
A
ROW1
4
5
6
B
ROW2
7
8
9
C
ROW3
*
0
#
D
You can use a 3×4 keyboard as well, because column 3 is not necessary in this application. # is used as ‘enter’ after you type in the valid code. The initial code is 1234 after programming the original source. You could activate the output with typing in:
1 2 3 4 #
* is used to change the code. Type in the actual code then press *. If you didn’t miss the actual code, the code change indicator LED will light up. Then type in the new code twice. Eg:
1 2 3 4 * 1 9 9 8 # 1 9 9 8 #
will change the code to 1998. The code changes immediately and permanently after typing the new code twice. If you miss entering the new code twice, the original code is kept.
If you don’t want anyone to be able to change the code, you can replace the ‘*’ key in the keytable to ‘#’. Or you can place the 3rd column inside your lock and use a key in this column coded ‘*’ to change the code. If you loose the actual code, you will need to access the DATA EEPROM of the controller with a programmer. The code can be read out or rewritten by the programmer.

Can somebody please help!
New to this. I need help fast.
I need pic hexfile for a goldcard (pic16F84A & EEPROM 24LC16) that should send out a code when it gets power. Then I have a ic: pic 16F84, which i also need the hex-file for. This ic should recieve the code on one pin and if it’s the right code, it should send out a signal on another pin for 10 seconds. If it’s the wrong code it should do nothing. We will then use the outsignal in a transistor to close a circuit, like a relay.
The schematic we got is on:
Please help us, it is a school assignment that should be finished very soon. We thought we would make it but it seemed that assembler whas to hard for us. Please help us with the source, we will read it and probably learn something from it.
You can contact me either on [email protected] or ICQ: 14489649/Thanks in advance

In the interests of security, I would suggest that additional measures are emplyed to make this fail-safe. A single failure could cause the relay to operate. An RF field, a voltage transient, or random component failure of the PIC chip could operate the transistor, as could failure of either the transistor or relay. My suggestion would be a watchdog circuit to make this fault tolerant and a triplicated output where you do not have to rely on a single device failure to render this insecure.

Hi..
I think that you can help me. We are working in the school project about electronic kill switch for a jeep. This kill switch has a keypad where you can enter pin number. If you enter three times the wrong number the system will be desabled and activating an alarm. In my group studends that should prepare the program they did program and in the circuit it does not work. So we decide now to use PIC microcontroller insted of 8031. I start writing my program but I am not sure to get it in few time because I just learn the PIC now, I do not have understood very well everything on PIC. I need your help if I can get something from you.
Maybe you find some orthograph error because my fisrt language is french.

Dear Jap,
I am a part-time evening student of High Certificate in Electronics and Communication Engineering, in Hong Kong. My lecturer of Project requires us to make a project that use 8051 microprocessor to control the all functions. I decide to make a electronic code lock. It is similar to your design but it is controlled by 8051 microprocessor, not the PIC chip. Unlucky, I am studying a subject of Microprocessor Engineering at initiation. That means my understanding of 8051 assemble program is very weak. I really hope that you can give me some assistance and design concept and assemble program help.
My proposal of the electronic code lock is as shown below:
The electronic code lock system is controlled by an assembly program in an 8051 microcontroller. The program can identify 3 (or more) sets of password, permit 3 times incorrect password input, has the master reset code and has a period control function.
Password and code length can be also changed any time through the k
