Clock in and out of locations with Mifare RFID cards for an accurate register of movements on and off site locations. Story I wanted to build a connected device that had the ability to identify and record the movements of people on and off locations. Using an RFID card reader and a Raspberry Pi running …
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) uses electromagnetic fields to read, monitor and transfer data from tags attached to different objects. It is not necessary that the cards are to be in visibility of the reader, it can be embedded in the tracked object. The tags can be actively powered from a power source or can be …

After getting a simple LED-blink program working, I moved on to the RFID portion of my project. It seemed to be the simplest of the three major parts (RFID, SD card, and MP3) because it’s basically just configuring the UART to receive and check the card IDs. I’m using the RDM6300 UART RFID Module from ITeadStudio, which …
A new generation of chipless RFID tags could soon be set to replace standard product barcodes. A research team at Monash University led by Dr Nemai Karmakar, from the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, have been developing chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tags that can be printed directly onto products and packaging – …
A couple of weeks ago, I saw this really cool Raspberry Pi based RFID-enabled cassette player. It ran PiMusicbox and the maker created a module to control PiMusicbox via RFID. This would be perfect for my three year old daughter. Ok, as she’s clearly not familiar with cassette players, I needed something simpler. She already …
During the two day ‘hackathon’ style workshop at Makernow last week, part of the All Makers Now conference, I helped one of the groups realise their project that involved triggering sound samples when symbolic items were placed into the centre of the piece. Due to the timescale, we had to use components and materials that …
