Phidgets - PhidgetRFID Reader

Phidgets are an easy to use set of building blocks for low cost sensing and control from your PC. Using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) as the basis for all Phidgets, the complexity is managed behind an easy to use and robust Application Programming Interface (API). Applications can be developed quickly in Visual Basic, VBA (Microsoft Access and Excel), LabView, Java, Delphi, C and C++.

PhidgetRFID Reader PhidgetRFID reads RFID tags, a technology used for security and location tracking. Each RFID tag contains a unique code. The PhidgetRFID reader reads these codes and returns them to your application when tags are brought within 10 cm (4") of the reader. The tag does not have to be visible to be read.
