AMT bought their own electric strike panel for the door ($50-100 I think, not sure), and then built the RFID access thing from scratch using:<div><div>* Parallax 125khz rfid reader serial ($40)</div></div><div>* PJRC Teensy (mini USB arduino clone) ($20)<br>
</div><div>* Sheevaplug (miniature arm-based linux server) ($99)<br></div><div><br></div><div>The parts were selected more based on what we had on hand / people donated, versus actually going out and buying the best / cheapest ones. RFID tokens are $0.25 - $1/each, depending on shape / quantity you buy (keychain, credit card shaped, miniature implantable glass capsule, etc).</div>
