	8-2-17 LoX (smart bike rack) LoX is a project that functions as a smart bike rack. Users can easily scan their cards via RFID and can store their bike on a secured spot on the bike rack. Integrated in the system is the date of checking, which prevents bikes that are left behind. The origin of the idea was the overload of bikes in the bikeracks at the University. Bikes were placed wrong and maintainers were hired to assign a spot for everyone. Initially our solution was to create a system that tracks on what date you store your bike to avoid bikes from being left behind. Since you have to assign a specific spot for the users bike the spot could then be secured by a lock to make it more difficult to steal the bike. To complete our idea we also included three different lights to show the status of the bike. My task in the project group was to make the circuit of the RFID card scanner and write code for the scanner and communication between the various components (read:scanner,motors, sensors and LED screen) and integrate all the components in to a function prototype.
