Here is my Datsun Wedding ring!

37grams of gold with a nice RFID capsule encased to open my Datsun door.

Here is the RFID chip...

Will upload schematics etc for those who wish to ever repeat when I have installed the reader and arduino board into the door when I come back from the honeymoon.

Ring was custom designed and made by Glen James Jeweller (http://www.glenjames.co.nz" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and he has done an awesome job.

Like :thumbsup: Don't think my wife would have gone for it. Within 3 months of Marriage, 2 Datos gone. But Marriage is an endurance not a sprint, got 4 Datos Now! Still think there would be words about the ring though. Well done, looks great and ultra functional.
All the best for Friday.

Be a good incentive not to drink and drive. You might fall onto the car and scrath the paint with your ring. :lol:

But seriously, that is pretty hardcore! You are a hardcore datto fiend if ever I've met one. :thumbsup:
