Comment on Parallax RFID Reader Arduino by Steve

First of all, thanks SO MUCH for this blog entry.. Having someone else’s code helped me troubleshoot what I’ve been working on for months (on and off)… I was getting NOWHERE with it.. I had NEVER gotten even ONE CHARACTER out of this darned thing, using an Arduino or an MBED micro.. Then, I saw Chris’ post about the dead reader, and I decided to try a different reader, and it worked the FIRST TIME.. Imagine that.. and I had several spare readers on the bench and never tried another one, because “why would this brand new reader be bad!?” I guess Parallax’s QC on this device isn’t that great…

Thanks so much! Hopefully my garage door will be open-able by RFID sometime this week!!

-Steve

More consensus, more courage, and more engineering.

Providing art for the bourgeoise is not “hacking” either.

@:-) Themelis Cuiper’s SocialGarden Business happenings about PR & e-commerce sent me a book mark to your weblog – you must be doing a very good job as he is pointing towards you.

Do you have a connection with mobile and social media marketing pro Christian Dillstrom? He is recommending your piece, so you must be doing a great job.

Hi, I’m new to using the Arduino and I was thinking about using a RFID reader on my robot. I did some searching and came across this posting. It’s great by the way!

I just wanted to ask a question – which RFID reader do you think is better, the Parallax one that you used or the ID-12 or ID-20 (flat black squares)? Sparkfun sells them and there is a posting about using them also.

Thanks,

Allen

i suppose it works by connecting a second reader to the DIgital pin 3 of the Arduino, and enabling readers one by one. Which means modifying the present code in order to pass the id of the reader as an argument to enableRFID()

Has anyone tried ?

#define RFID0_ENABLE 2 //pin connected to ENABLE #define RFID1_ENABLE 3


void enableRFID(RFID_ENABLE) {

    digitalWrite(RFID_ENABLE, LOW);

}

void disableRFID(RFID_ENABLE) { digitalWrite(RFID_ENABLE, HIGH); }
