RFID1356 04: Get UID

This sketch shows how to read UID's with the module. This is the most simple example, because for getting the UID of a tag is not necessary any authentication or key access.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x Coin cell 1 x RFID 13.56MHz board 1 x RFID 13.56MHz antenna 1 x RFID Tag

Notes

- Remember to connect the battery to Waspmote for proper operation. - Don't write address 0, 3, 7, 11, 15, ... if you are not an advanced user. You could leave your tag unaccessible. - Address 0 contains the IC manufacturer data. This block has read-only access. - Address 3, 7, 11 contains the secret keys A and B. Writing in them will change access keys and conditions. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12
