You want to Login to your Desktop with your NFC Ring?
You have an Arduino Leonardo, an NFC Ring and an Elechouse PN532 reader (v3 recommended)?

Great, lets build a Log-In Station for your Laptop.
It works with nearly every password field (Debian Linux Login, Windows 8.1 Login, Keepass tested and worked - BIOS password doesn't work).

Connect the Elechouse reader to the Arduino Leonardo (see below) and connect the Arduino via USB to your computer.

PN532 Module <-> Arduino

GND <-> GND
VCC <-> 3v3
SDA <-> SDA (on Arduino Leonardo D2)
SCL <-> SCL (on Arduino Leonardo D3)

So here's the code:

If you have questions: Feel free to ask.

So here's a video of my prototype for a light switch with Arduino.
Code, Tutorial and Images are following.
https://mediacru.sh/uuF-Ulrhdwey

Hi @Lokki thanks - I already ordered an Elechouse V3 Reader, but till it arrives i build the prototype with my v2 reader.

So here's an Image:

The parts list:

• An Arduino
• Elechouse PN532 reader (V3 recommended - see @Lokki comment
• 433Mhz Transmitter (e.g. from eBay)
• a working outlet device (see here)

The schematics, an arduino diagram and a little howto is following.

Now, here we go:

Short Description:

Connect the PN532 Module as follows:

PN532 Module <-> Arduino

GND <-> GND
VCC <-> 3v3
SDA <-> SDA (on Arduino Uno A4)
SCL <-> SCL (on Arduino Uno A5)

For TWI Pins of other Boards, see Arduino Boards Page

Connect the 433Mhz Transmitter as follows:

433Mhz Transmitter <-> Arduino

DATA <-> Data Pin (i use Pin 10)
VCC <-> 3v3
GND <-> GND

Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask!

@Lokki what are your error messages in the arduino ide?
@Nairod785 here are some pictures:

Hi, you can do everything you imagine.
For example the Logout:
See code for login (https://forum.nfcring.com/topic/392/logging-into-desktop-with-arduino/3).
Replace the code "Keyboard.println("password");" at the end with the following code:

Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_GUI);
Keyboard.press('l');
delay(100);
Keyboard.releaseAll();

This code presses the Window Key and the "L" key at the same time, so your windows computer will be locked.
For more information, read the Arduino docs: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/MouseKeyboard
You can emulate the Keyboard and the Mouse with an Ardunio Leonardo

it works both.
Connect it to 5v if it says in the manual.

Yeah - interesting idea - i will tinker with the code in my next spare time to improve the code.
