Want to level up your Arduino with impressive LF read range? The RFIDuino shield is a solid bet. You’ll have to provide your own Arduino.
I gave the thing a whirl with my flexEm. Those offended by Freedom Units might want to skip this one. I’ll circle back with proper video next time I’m at the HQ. I was just too excited about the range to keep it out of your hands
The door shown is solid wood not some silly hollow core interior thing.
Awesome, thanks! I was thinking about pining you about this last night lol.
Is the design of the board/antenna open sourced anywhere? I can’t find too much documentation on it
Is the design of the board/antenna open sourced anywhere?
To the best of my knowledge, no. The company that produced them no longer makes them so once we’re out, they’re likely gone for good. That being said, we’ve got a fair number on hand.
Was there anything in particular you wanted to know?
Nothing in particular thanks. Frankly I was hoping to look at their antenna design, it would be interesting to roll my own shield/access controller. I’d like something with a few built-in photorelays for triggering buttons on a remote/key fob.
If you want to handle the rest of the design I’d be willing to help you out with the antenna. It may take 2 or 3 tries but rigid pcbs aren’t that expensive.
