Expermenting with RFID
4 September 2008 – 23:20
…using three different types of RFID readers, in preparation for Mediamatic’s RFID social hackers camp at PICNIC’08.
They fun (or lame?) thing is, they all use totally different paradigms of connecting to the PC! One is a smart card reader, one makes a serial port and the USB stick even acts as if it’s a keyboard…
I still have troubles with this last one, when holding a tag next to it, this ‘keyboard’ doesn’t ‘type’! And even better, no serial number / maker ID or anything, no API docs.. great. Well, it’s a challenge.
