serial - Arduino with Parallax RFID reader storing ...

I am quite new to electronics and have been tinkering around with this Arduino UNO w/ WiFi Shield and the Parallax RFID R/W Module.

Link to the RFID Module: http://www.parallax.com/Store/Accessories/CommunicationRF/tabid/161/ProductID/688/List/0/Default.aspx?SortField=ProductName,ProductName

arduino - Electronic pet-door access control - RFID ...

Inspired by projects such as the tweeting cat door and CATaLOG [sic] I'm wanting to add some form of automated access control to our pet door to control who can go in and out, when.

(Full Disclosure: This is a reprint from my blog where I first wrote up the problem, but all feedback is welcome!)

The Players

We currently have three cats, one dog and one pet door.

UHF RFID Read Ranges - Stack Exchange

I'm going to examine the maths of transmitting power from a point source (the reader antenna) and assume the passive tag has an antenna that can pick-up, rectify and re-use a fraction of this power. This doesn't consider near-field effects/benefits (these may save the day but my gut feeling suggests they won't).

The reader antenna is pumping out +20dBm - that's a power of...

What can I do to increase passive HF RFID read range?

up vote 6 down vote accepted

I can only relate my experiences: -

If you want to detect a normally-not-powered passive type tag at extreme distances you have to power to that tag from a significantly bigger magnetic field. Making your magnetic field stronger is the only way I can know (and can recommend). Making your tag more efficient in recovering a fraction of this power is also part of the...

rfid - Can I use a NFC ring as an Oyster card ...

Newer applications use ISO/IEC 14443-4 standardized application cards (like payment cards from V/M/Amex, and NXP offers a proprietary extension of these called DESFire for transit agency issued cards).

The Oyster MIFARE cards are programmed at the factory (or by the system operator from blank devices) and are activated upon enrollment to the system. The readers at the turnstiles and behind the...

This is a tough and subtle problem. I wouldn't discourage you from trying to find a cool, clever, "good enough" hobbyist solution. In fact if you can do so it might even justify starting your own company to market it.

What you are talking about is an RTLS ( Real Time Locating System ).

RFID can be used to solve this problem, but at a very limited resolution and requires an...

Power requirements for NFC (RFID) chip - Stack Exchange

You need to distinguish worst case and average power consumption. It occurs to me you are more interested in the latter.

Average power consumption

Here you have to understand how RFID and specifically 14443 A work. In a nutshell, the reader keeps its antenna resonating at 13.56 MHz, and when a token is in the field, the latter gets power. Token has an antenna tuned to the same frequency...
