Introduction
Ingredients:
- 1 x Raspberry Pi
- 1 x RFID 125 kHz shield for Raspberry Pi
- 1 x RFID Antenna
- 2 x Read only cards (EM4100)
- 2 x Programmable cards (Read-Write Cards, T5557)
NOTE: If you don’t have a Raspberry Pi you can get one buying a Raspberry Pi Starter Kit.

- Connecting the RFID module to Raspberry Pi.
- Reading EM4100 cards (read only cards).
- Reading T5557 cards.
- Reading / writing T5557 cards.
- Reading / writing T5557 cards with password.
- Using the sleep mode.
- Video-Tutorial.
Step 1: Connecting the RFID module to Raspberry Pi:
Setting up the hardware is very easy, just plug the Raspberry Pi to Arduino Shield with the RFID module to the Raspberry Pi. Now you can program the Raspberry Pi and communicate it with the RFID module using the serial port (Serial.read(), Serial.print()…).
Step 2: Reading EM4100 cards (read only cards):
In this part we show an example of the Raspberry Pi reading EM4100 cards. We use the Auto Read mode. Raspberry Pi is waiting all the time, when a card is detected, we read its code, blink the LED and print the code on the standard output.
| Command |
| 0x87 – Set Auto Mode: EM4102 Mode – Parity decoded – Manchester RF/64 |
| FF 01 09 87 01 03 02 00 10 20 30 40 37 |
