RFID Prototype

Hi,

I need to set a prototype RFID system. It will be a basic systems that will
show :

1. an RFID read event,
2. Update of a backend database (inventory).

Is there any RFID emulator available that I can use to generate an event ? I
do not have a redy to go RFID setup.

Thanks in advance

There's not even a standard interface to RFID readers at all, as far as I
can think. Why not just buy one of the readers you expect to use, since
that will have the right interface, serial or whatever, on it?

Honestly, we are too tied fisted to buy an RFID reader at this moment. We
need to show a proof of concept to client. thx

Then you'll have to write an emulator. Of course, if time is worth anything
it's cheaper to just buyt the hardware...

Hi,

write a simple application that outputs a serial data string comparable to
the data on a RF-ID tag when you hit a button.
you can simulate a RFID read event this way. There are plenty of readers on
the market with a serial interface. So, with minor software modifications,
you will be able to connect the real thing.

regards,

Luc
