Wireless Electricity meets RFID

Do-it-yourself wireless RFID sensor systems

Published in issue 403, June 2010

Wireless Electricity meets RFID
In this article we describe a do-it-yourself RFID reader as well as a way of making your own RFID tags. What’s more, we show how to make RFID tags that include a transducer, opening up the possibility of making RFID sensors.
RFID reader:
- standard microcontroller (ATtiny2313)
- works with EM4102-compatible RFID tags
- output over RS232 interface

DIY and sensor RFID tags:
- standard microcontroller (ATtiny13)
- EM4102 compatible
- analogue and digital inputs for sensors
- status and readings transmitted via RFID ID
- separate adaptor board for programming and debugging

Open source software collection:
- RFID reader firmware
- DIY RFID tag firmware for:
standard RFID tag (fixed ID)
RFID tag with alternating ID
RFID tag with switchable ID
RFID tag with configurable ID
RFID tag with two analogue inputs
RFID tag with temperature sensor
