+
+## 💻 Code Highlights
+
+### RFID Card Authentication
+```cpp
+void handleRFIDCard() {
+  String cardUID = getCardUID();
+  Serial.println("Card detected: " + cardUID);
+
+  if (isAuthorizedCard(cardUID)) {
+    grantAccess();
+    logAccess(cardUID, true);
+  } else {
+    denyAccess();
+    logAccess(cardUID, false);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Servo Motor Control
+```cpp
+void grantAccess() {
+  doorLocked = false;
+  doorServo.write(90); // Unlocked position
+  digitalWrite(GREEN_LED, HIGH);
+  playSuccessSound();
+}
+```
+
+### Auto-Lock Timer
+```cpp
+void loop() {
+  // Auto-lock door after timeout
+  if (!doorLocked && millis() - doorOpenTime > DOOR_OPEN_DURATION) {
+    lockDoor();
+  }
+}
+```

+| **Locked** | Door secured, waiting for card | Red OFF | None | "Scan your card" |
+| **Access Granted** | Valid card detected | Green ON | Success tone | "Access Granted!" |
+| **Access Denied** | Invalid card detected | Red ON | Error tone | "Access Denied!" |
+| **Unlocked** | Door open, auto-lock countdown | Green ON | None | "Door: UNLOCKED" |
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+| Problem | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| **RFID not detected** | Check 3.3V power, SPI connections |
+| **Servo not moving** | Verify 5V power, signal wire to Pin 6 |
+| **LCD blank** | Check I2C address (0x27), power connections |
+| **No sound** | Test buzzer connections, Pin 7 |
+| **LEDs not working** | Check resistor values, polarity |
+| **Button not responding** | Verify Pin 2 connection, internal pull-up |
+
+### Debug Mode
+Enable serial monitoring at 9600 baud to see:
