Part 46: RFID Door Locks/Openers - My 76 Mazda RX-5 Cosmo Restoration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- First things first: I'm going to freely admit that this project is not critical to getting the car finished. Honestly it has just been an idea that seems to have implanted itself in my head a few years ago and rattling around inside me since then. So I decided to inject a little fun and magic into the previously shaved doors (remember part 8?) with the addition of RFID actuated openers. And yes, I realize this episode is fairly long and perhaps should have been lacerated into two parts, but I think you'll understand why I didn't split it up by the end and chose to keep it homogeneous. It also turned out to be very involved, in the sense that part 46 includes almost every fabrication technique I have access to: welding, rapid prototyping (3D printing to the lay person), fiberglass, electronics, programming and anatomy. Oh, there might also be a visit from a certain special guest to help out. One other fascinating fact is that I used more disposable latex surgical gloves in this episode than all previous episodes combined!

It’s a Christmas miracle!
I think you'll find that it's a Festivus miracle.
Zach Muse we so so so excited
Very much so
Yes!
@@aaroncake next installment soon aaron?
Wow! That was an unexpected ending
That's what she said.
@@aaroncake unexpected hairy ending.... it cannot be unseen...
I just jumped up out of my chair and had to explain to my wife that the "That's what she said" Canadian guy the is building that Cosmo just posted a video.
Some things are best left unexplained.
What did she say?
She told me she had no idea what I was talking about. But also added, “Have fun. See you in an hour.”
Ooh, so thats what she said!
After the fact, I told her about the chip injection. She then asked me “WTF, why would someone do that?” I didn’t have a legitimate argument.
craziest car video ever didn't even see that coming 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Best christmas gift for 2018
yup... i was really hoping for Project Binki but no dice :(
Binky 21 just went live now. In time for some New Years viewing.
I'm really impressed with how your fibreglass pieces came out. Me personally though, I would've stuck the coil to the inside of the rear quarter glass with some clear vinyl wrap and saved all this effort.
But that's far less magical. And one could see the coil. I did consider that but felt it would take away from some of the cool factor. For a first ever fibreglassing effort I also think the result wasn't too bad. A few air pockets here and there and obviously had to mill out the extra material, but basically worked.
Wohoo! Aaron is back!!
wohoo , lynette is back too !
Lost this project some years back
And randomly remembered about it yesterday
Hope to catch up on what’s been done so far
Make sure to stay subscribed so you get notified for the next video, which I feel is in the pipeline.
Now that Aaron knows how to fiberglass, construction of the kaido racer bodykit can finally begin! 😉
That is devotion to a project Aaron, inspiration if not terrifying. You will truly be one with the car.
We'll be in the grave if this ever finished. RIP Tubers!
*So nice to see you before the new year, Aaron.*
*Thank you for all the Cosmo videos.*
*Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Family.*
*I'm still stuck on Lynnette.*
Wow, well done! Stumbled on your channel and learned more than I thought I would.
Thank you and welcome aboard!
As soon as you said towards the end that the RID keychain was too much on a keychain I knew exactly what you were going to do! LOL!
In the biz, we call that "foreshadowing". :-)
Well, at this rate id think if you didn't use the RFID to actually start the engine I'd be disappointed. Maybe do a keyed backup somewhere just in case you loose a hand to infection.
Ultimately yes, there will be an RFID reader in the car to enable the vehicle to start. At least that's where I think I'm heading. Haven't completely decided on that yet. Definitely another reader at the trunk for those times it is inconvenient to reach for keys/remote. The final system will allow multiple tags to be recognized so no problem having backup/valet/secondary driver (yeah, as if someone else will drive the car) tags.
Unlocking the doors with an RFID implant is cool as hell but if you've then got to use a plain old key to start it whats the point haha.
What's the plan if the RFID System fails or the battery goes flat?
baggedandblown a charge point available from the outside of the car would help in some situations. Maybe keep the trunk accessible from the outside w/o power if the locks fail
@@aaroncake I was kinda wondering how you'd do a valet key. "Alright, buddy, hold still. This won't hurt much."
You absolute madman, I genuinely didn't believe you were going to do it! The bragging rights when you roll up to a car meet and open the door with the back of your hand are going to be incredible.
Back in the 90s we built this system on a 4door integra da.
Shaved everything.
My friend who owned the car fell a sleep couple times with the remote in pockets.next morning 3doors open.i remember stoping by his car to shut them for him.
Very cool but there is a downside
Glad to watch your video,good work as usual!
That's pretty funny.
Happy Birthmas Aaron!!! So happy to see you today!!
Awesome to see you again bud. Love the RFID reader but I would not be putting it permanently in my hand. Brave man.
Permanent? If for some reason it ever needed to be removed, it is just a small incision.
Talk about raising the bar! I'm... at a loss for words, mind is completely blown. Cheers from Chicago, Aaron!
There is a Canadian God! Merry Christmas to this guy!! Thank you so much and see you agin in 8 months.
I thought the chip in the hand was a set up...can’t believe you actually did it, so god damn cool
I've wanted to do it for years, just had to wait for the excuse.
Yet again, you've made me so incredibly proud. Love, mom.
My life, it is complete.
Oh no, a gift that I do not have time to unwrap! Having watched all the other episodes in this epic, I am very confident that this will keep well and not spoil.
this is the last thing i expected in a car resto video, but i'm now subscribed
First of this series I've ever seen. As soon as I heard "welcome to part 46" I'm fuckin sold man. Subscribed.
Haha, welcome! And enjoy! Better get a case of your favourite adult beverage and find a comfortable chair.
I cant freaking believe u did that! I’ve been following for a long time and this is the first time I’ve commented. Well done sir.
Im still laughing at the sawhorse and drywall surgery suite. You're amazing man.
Mold resistant drywall. Much better than regular drywall for this purpose.
As much as I enjoyed this episode and that it showcased so many of your skills, talents and abilities, the fact that you quite literally became a permanent part of your car is extreme dedication. The act of you performing the medical procedure on yourself to realize that dream makes you a certified hardcore engineering badass!!!
(And we even got a fleeting glimpse)
By the Definition of "time lapse", you nailed it.
I was fairly disappointed but think I recovered it.
ok Aaron admit it. You don't wanna finish the car :). you just find new things to keep at it. Merry christmas, we love you. Greetings from Greece.
I do keep thinking of more cool stuff to do. That's always been sort of the premise of this car. All those ideas I've had over the years are getting done.
Least you didn't implant the chip in you're penal gland as you would get some dam funny looks rubbing that against you're door to get in lol. Great stuff as always.
Oh believe me, that was discussed.
made my christmas!
this guy needs his own show first time watching this is amazing content suscribed within 5 mins
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
When Aaron Cake posts a video, you know it's a good day :D
Aaron Cake wins the internet.period.
this may one the best christmas presents ever, been watching for so many years.. every hour long video is marathon worth watching....
Thank you! I would have liked this one to be shorter, but there was so much to cover and if had split it into two, it would have probably given away the ending.
@@aaroncake TBH Stuff what makes good content, it just lovely sitting down and chilling with huge glass of home made ice coffee, and watching another great episode. it kind of like the bob ross effect I guess. can't wait to the next episode in 6 or so months. here is to the near 9 years watching you (kind of creepy that been stalking you since I was 15)... continue the hard work, it's a privilege to see real time home restoration not comercial style restoration.
Didn’t see that coming... haha
I liked that idea and am inspired to do same on my '75 Datsun 620 project, though I'll dispense with the implant! I'm enjoying your videos and noted that I have similar tools being used in my build (more Princess Auto than Cdn Tire). My build is a complete frame-up but will soon be putting my mig welding skills to the test.
But without the implant, where is the magic? It won't be long now...one of us, one of us...And thank you for reminding me that I need to hit Princess Auto during the current sale and pick up some more of those plastic drawer parts storage cabinets. On the Datsun 620, what are you doing with the drivetrain?
That magic will be in my pocket! I'm also planning on a keyless start to go with that. I'm grafting the '75 620 KC body onto an '85 720 frame to gain front discs and updated electrics, this way I can add AC or whatever since the 620 only had 5 electrical circuits. For the immediate future I will use the Z2.4 but am looking ahead to using a Nissan V6 to keep it in the family. The cab came with an aftermarket sunroof installed so I'm planning on fitting in a spoiler-type sunroof once I find a suitable donor...
You are a wizard with electronics, it is all magic to me, another great video
Cant wait to see you finish this labor of love
Every time I hear the intro my brain thinks she's saying, "Cosmo makes me bleed," which seems factually correct.
Just found this today. What an awesome surprise! Thanks for finding time to do this for us, Aaron =)
You will never know how happy you just made me.
I just commented on your last video yesterday asking for a update lol. Its so good to hear from you. If followed since day 1 of this build. I wish I could spend a day in the garage with you and learn.
44 min That's what she said! Thanks for the video Aaron
The coolest 3D printed video I’ve seen so far, was the guy who 3D printed chocolate 🍫
I’m so glad you’re back man. I think between you and project binky we have 2 of the most original and awesome channels ever on RUclips. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people start picking the rfid route from now on. You are a pioneer sir. Keep those videos coming, we wanna see this thing flying down the track
Well thank you! It takes a lot of effort to produce this content (especially this episode, lots of editing multiple footage sources, logistics of another person, cutting down long boring sequences) and I appreciate the acknowledgement.
this went from oh cool, guy puts RFID reader on car to open door > oh nice hes actually doing it > wow it works > oh shit is he insane? > well it works > subscribed
About due for the next episode. Looking back at past episodes its crazy to see the progress and how long a project this massive takes.
You and that crazy Cosmo are now blood brothers. New ideas? Retinal scan ignition interlock. Neuro-controlled steering and brakes. Adaptive sensing cruise control. Full-on Tesla electric conversion. Paint and interior would be nice too.
Paint and interior would be a nice luxury. Eventually.
Firstly, impressed with, and jealous of, the RFID implant. I've wanted to get one for a long time, but i A) don't know what I'd use it for, and B) am a mechanic for a living, and would worry about it breaking in my hand.
This is a pretty awesome implementation. You should try and incorporate similar systems in all you vehicles (including ignition), as well as the locks on your house. You'd never have to carry a key again!
Just a (the) tip: When potting those PCB"s, you could've welded the ends on, and left the top open. The PCB's would still be completely sealed within the potting compound, and both mounting tabs would be welded on. I'd honestly worry about the end you "bonded" with the potting compound breaking off. It might feel solid, but repeated shocks from closing the doors, plus road vibration... There's a good chance of that joint failing. At the very least, consider tacking the corners.
So many uses! For example, RFID readers to arm and disarm your alarm. RFID access control stuff is dirt cheap on eBay from China. Yes, breakage COULD be a concern in extreme circumstances. But by the time the implant is broken, that part of your hand is crushed so a broken RFID chip would be the least of your concerns I'd think. The body surrounds it will collagen after a month or so, encapsulating it in a protective layer. But definitely the hand needs to be treated gently for a week or two after implantation. I do all kinds of physical stuff; working on cars, construction, shooting, biking, etc. and am not worried about it.Oh, I guess I didn't show it in the video but before I put the ends on I had cut slits on the bonding side with the Dremel, for more surface area for the epoxy to grip. That stuff is wicked strong.
Merry christmas Aaron, looking forward for next mini-projects on the Cosmo :)
A small tip about etching. I put the PCB on the top of cloride with the copper layer down, let it float by itself and let chloride do its job. Works quite nice, you don't have to wave with the whole bowl...just need to be a bit carefull, not to catch any bubble under the PCB. Also you can see the progress of etching thought the fiberglass of the board...and just close to the end really take it out to check it :)
My boards always sink. On my long list of projects is a vertical etch tank that pumps etchant over the board, while keeping it warm. Actually I intend to try the muriatic acid / hydrogen peroxide etchant as my ferric chloride is starting to wear out.
That implant idea for the rfid is fucking amazing.
Who cares about Christmas, it's a new Aaroncake video !! YAAY.
That’s such a cool idea,if I had the brain capacity to come up with that I would have attempted fixing the reader behind the rear 1/4 window with an extended loom to the trigger instead of opening the handle space up again.only providing it could read through glass
It should read through the glass. The range is a few CMs and unless the material between the tag and antenna is conductive it doesn't seem to have much effect on range.
God damn Aaron! Took you long enough. At the end of the vid i did not want it to end. Holly crap i miss you when you don't post!!! No homo! :)) Love your nurse! Can't wait for the next one! All the best!
Thank you Aaron!
I see a spirit floating around at 9:01 🤤😲😲😲
Huh, neat! Didn't notice that during editing. Must have been zinc contamination on the weld/wire which caused the floater.
On the first day of christmas Aaron gave to us, a cosmo video upload! 😂
Mazda never imagined one of their customers installs key fob in his body.... Welcome back future boy !!!!
Good to have you back!
That was freaking awesome!!! The FC "key" in the other hand seems like a logical thing to do :)
Yay, a brand new AC video...Best ever Christmas present ! Thank you, Santa!!
8 years and counting. Crazy!
One guy, evenings and weekends. Just think, if I didn't have to work during the week, or my job was building this car. Ah well, one can only dream.
Aah, and even lovely Lynette made a (rather nice!) apperence. Great episode, very interesting!
Yes!
100= the percent of the time I was waiting for "That's what she said" jokes.
It's all about the payoff
WOW a triple whammy, Aaron has another video , Lynnette makes another appearance and Aaron sticks something in his hand? OMG he really did it. I have to admit I was with you till the insertion but what the hell it is your car and your hand.
I've actually had this planned for several years as a "future" project. But then said what the hell, let's do it now.
@@aaroncake I have a lot of respect for you for your "at home surgery" and hope it all works out for you. Bet you get some pretty shocked looks when you walk up to the car, wave your hand by the handle area and the door pops open.
Your videos are so inspirational love how you always have a plan for each item and problem you come across, best of luck with your build from New Zealand :)
Praise the lawdd sweet Jesus! My prayers have been answered! From the forums to RUclips, it's always a pleasure to read/view your content. Thanks for dropping knowledge Aaron!
P.S. "That's what she said!" Lol
Was thinking about the Cosmo project just a few days ago and tada here it is
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan ....because there's a plot twist at the end!
This is the best Christmas gift ever!
@aaroncake I actually have an RFID circuit already built to do the exact same thing. =] I too plan on getting the chip implanted in my hand. The only diff. is I want to be able to enable terminal 15r with the same chip, allowing me to start the car using a Starter Button. If I really want to overtune... I may even implement biometric security via finger print scanner... but that would be included in later revisions. lolz I have been designing a CAN system for my car for a while, just never have the time to actually install it all. So far all I have installed is a Raspi running Kali Linux attached to a 7" Touchscreen, Custom fit into the factory location with OTG, USB, AUX, Ext. WIFi Ant., WiFi Hotspot, and Portable HD installed. I was orig. going to design the entire system using Raspi and arduinos, although lately Ive decided to use a micro atx based mini pc. The Raspi just isnt fast enough anymore. hehe I eventually plan on including things like, Rain Sensor to control wipers and raise windows if it starts raining, various data sensors, camera, etc. Love the vids. Jeremy Oh! My car is a 04 GTi, before this car though, my circuits were designed to be fit in mk2 VWs. :)
It sounds like we have quite a lot in common. I ran a car PC for many years in my RX-7 and Insight to play MP3s (info on my website in Projects section). Actually for about 5 years I was an Admin on mp3car.com, back when it was mainly a forum. I'll be implementing CAN on the Cosmo as well. In fact it is looking like the next video might involve some of that. Going to try and stay away from SBCs or general purpose computers because mainly reliability. I'll be designing a body ECU for the car to control everything, leaning towards using an ESP8266 as the core. That really is my favourite microcontroller at this point. Not a lot of I/O but with I2C can have infinite in/out channels. Plus WiFi, so for example the car could connect to my home automation system and report status. Definitely going to implement a rain sensor (Binky did it) as well.
The best episode yet. Full of typical AC awkward sexual innuendo and nerves. Keep up the good work
Wow, that's some dedication dude! Nice video, keep up the good work!
Glad to see you back on this project!!
Hey Aaron, is the regulator necessary if I'm going to use an arduino nano with the module? What about power consumption? I am going to use something similar for a motorcycle.
12V is about the maximum you would want to feed an Arduino with because of the regulator used on the board. You also don't want to feed it directly from the dirty 12V, which of course could go as high as 14V, from the alternator/magneto. Best bet would be to use a DC-DC converter with a 5V output and run both the Arduino and RFID reader from the 5V source. I made the regulator board since I wanted to run the module from 12V instead of shuffling 5V around the car which would be subject to voltage drops and interference. As for power draw, the RDM6300 uses about 50mA while the Nano uses about the same but can be put into sleep which reduces power consumption to a few microamps when idle. I bet that any regulator you use to drop the voltage to 5V probably uses more current.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this idea.
Oh wow! I was just thinking the other day that you hadn't uploaded in a while. Stoked.
And so in another 8 years he perhaps will start restoring the car
It's the best decemberween present I could ever have asked for!!!
Bloody excellent!
I will admit I was quite worried as your website was down for a bit, which had me frantically scrambling to Wayback machine to save a copy of your megasquirt guide!
Good to see you back posting great content.
My website won't ever disappear. Been running it since 1995 and have no intention of taking it down. Hopefully it wasn't down for very long. I self host, so I know it wasn't a server issue. Likely a connectivity problem higher up the line.
@@aaroncake it was down for about 2 weeks I think. All okay now though. It's been a massive help to me and I'm sure others.
Whoa! Must have been a connectivity issue because it definitely wasn't down for two weeks. I have a monitoring system that checks the basics (ports open, services running) every 60 seconds, and performs user tasks (running through forms, checking dynamic page generation, etc.) every 15 minutes. Definitely would have known. :-)
Using RFID is a great idea and obviously you do things however you want to do them but I think I'd have left the doors as-is and found a way to stick the RFID coil on the inside of the lower corner of the back seat window. It would be accessible if it needs to be replaced, and would keep keys or anything from being dragged across the paint to swipe your fob.
Anyways, good work as always.
That would unfortunately defeat the magic of opening the doors. I purposely made sure the only component that would be embedded within the bodywork is the reader coil, which has little chance of failing. The RFID reader electronics are replaceable if necessary from inside the door.
If hand is used to open the door, i'm kind of curious what body part is going to start the car.
I think the answer to that one is obvious.
Firstly... Yeah, you're a lunatic 😂 secondly... Did you get my email about the Cosmo I found in a scrapyard in NZ?
Possibly...I am very, very far behind in my website emails. I mean at least 2 years.
@@aaroncake well you know, life and what not! Hope you're doing ok bud, it worries me when we don't hear from you in so long! My Mrs was confused about my excitement that you'd released a new episode 😁
Up until now you have been engaged to this car. Now you are, dare I say it, married to it.
When's the next edition coming out Aaron. It's been almost 12 weeks now. Would be great to see the next instalment. All the best a viewer from the UK.
Not sure. The current Cosmo project is a little complicated and more fiddly than I thought, so it is taking longer. Also there's the issue of waiting for parts (from China).
Hey Aaron, how is the car coming along now? I’m pretty keen to see the next instalment 😎👍
It's coming along well. The current Cosmo project (decided on by the viewers) is rather detailed, so it began with a lot of just sitting and saying "Hmmm...". At this point I think I have enough footage, and know it will be a multi-part episode, so now just busy editing.
Great to hear 😎
Dude that is so epic. Best vid of 2018. Thanks for posting, I can't wait for the next video!
I love the Sheetrock operating table. Nice touch. Now to set your ignition to start with your implant.
Great Video Aaron, was a nice Pre-Christmas surprise. Thanks for that. Have a great Christmas and a Happy and safe New year.
wohw nurse Lynet when you come to take care of me nice work Aaron
I get the biggest smile when ever i get the notification when you post a video thanks for the early Christmas present Aaron
I'm traumatized....
H O L Y S H I T!
A B S O L U T E M A D L A D!!!
i have a magnetic vision implant under the skin, slightly to the left on my left hand index finger so i know how this procedure goes but i was COMPLETELY not expecting the end there.
subscription earned
I'm curious, what do you use the magnet for?
@@aaroncake sorry for the late reply but i originally wanted to be an electrician. im sure you know how magnets and electricity interact when within the same vicinity. well the small magnet under my skin osculates when it comes near a live/higher voltage electric line. i can feel outlets behind thin walls and metal detectors, i was a small body mod that comes in handy sometimes especially good and finding magnets in other things that you cant see normally.
Wow, welcome back. Merry Christmas. Looking forward to seeing your vids next year.
So happy to see ur still at it!!
Perfect work.
Yay! I’m glad to see you back!
