What is an RFID reader you may ask? It stands for Radio-frequency id. If you have a reader that's great, but you also need 2 small things. 1 is a card, the other is a tag, you may find it in the thumbnail of the project.
How they work
Every RFID system consists of three components: a scanning antenna, a transceiver, and a transponder. When the scanning antenna and transceiver are combined,
they're
mentioned
as an RFID reader or interrogator. There are two
styles of
RFID readers -- fixed readers and mobile readers. The RFID reader
could be a
network-connected device
that may
be portable or permanently attached. It uses radio waves to transmit signals that activate the tag. Once activated, the tag sends a wave back to the antenna, where
it's
translated into data.
