PRISMO is a fully open-source and easy-to-install access system designed to control access to tools and equipment in maker spaces. Our goal is to create a system that any maker space in the world can easily set up for its own use. The system is completely open-source, including the backend, reader firmware, and PCB schematics.
⚠️ ☢️ 🚀 Attention!!! Disclaimer!!! PRISMO is in early alpha, NOT for production use! Expect bugs, limitations, and security risks. Use only in controlled environments. We take no responsibility for damages. Contribute responsibly!
Simplest way to bring PRISMO to your life is to use Raspberry Pi and graphical desktop environment. Here is full description how to do this: instruction
Readers itself has their own repository and building instructions, follow repo to build your own beautiful reader.
Once you got your PRISMO Reader, it is time to flash it with firmware. Flashing reader is performed from Raspberry Pi itself. To flash your brand new, fresh reader you need to perform such steps.
Ok, after flashing new reader you can add new tags and users to database.
That is all! Now you can toggle checkbox with PRISMO Reader name, and user will have an access for this device! But to apply changes on PRISMO Reader you need to reboot it or to use any tag again, because reader updates its keys only during boot or after any key use.
As we said, PRISMO is in early alpha stage, a lot of improvements needed, so contact us and join our team! We also can provide more detailed instructions about building HW part.

System is developed mainly on a volunteering basis, but finantial support for writing documentation was given by TOLOCAR program in Ukraine: a project funded by the German Government @bmz_bund and implemented by the GIZ with support of At Stake gGmbH in close collaboration with Ukrainian and international partners.
