A first look at this RFID reader/writer module which can be bought for a few dollars on eBay. It's cheap but also quite complicated.

    The fact that this man has a magnifying glass and used it to actually zoom up rather than showing a completely blurry close up is worth a thumbs up alone

    I built a Dalek once using RFID to identify it's master and guests. It had an airsoft cannon to pelt those who didn't "Identify" properly. It used a Raspberry Pi SBC for a main brain, an old Xbox Kinect for it's eyes and ears, and a bunch of micro-controllers for it's peripheral control systems.

    Thanks for this Julian. This is helping me write a security system for my home where a person would scan an RFID tag to turn off the security features... while it is still all in the future: alarm, facial recognition and video documentation. This is all a hobby at this point, I'm just loving coming up with solutions for problems I want to crack.

    love how you were able to show sources as to where you found each information step by step. A very helpful video. thank you
  • @ReneeStevens98
    You've done an AMAZING job explaining this for a beginning hardware geek, like myself. Many thanks!!!
  • @Vhbaske
    How much I love these of your tutorials! Thanks Julian.
  • @MaxTheGabri
    Thanks for this extremely useful video! I've bought it with actually no clue on how to get it working, but now that i've seen your video i have much clearer information on how to use it! Thanks a lot. :)
  • most impressive instructions, made easier and simple. thank you. I will always keep watching and talking about your videos.

    Wonderful video, it gave me the perfect guidance as I set up my RC522 and began my RFID journey
  • Just randomly popped up in my recommended. I'm using this exact setup in my engineering class so thanks for the help. You probably just got me an A on my final.
  • @awshuckaduckey
    Thank you for sharing this. I plan to try this out on reading microchipped animals for identification purposes.
  • @sharks3010
    This was one of the most concise and informative videos I've found on the use and management of these devices. It's given me a great first step and pointed me in the right direction to find out more. Thanks mate.
  • @GregWoodsLancs
    Another really useful video. I too had a play with various cheap RFID, including the RC522. But in the end I settled on a PN532 based card, which is little more expensive, as it has compatibility with a greater range of tags, including NFC. Need more time to play with it though.

    The Dutch people who cracked it actually cracked the public transit card system by overwriting the cards with information about credit for public transit.
  • @YeOldeSpellbooke
    Hi Julian. Thanks for the stream of cool electronics you post :) Keep up the good work!
  • @TKomoski
    Saw it on Seller  alice1101983 and I do have it in my cart. Thanks for the short tutorial about it. As you said what to use it for other than the intended use. Put it on the bottom of a cup and data log your drinking habits. My first project with it is to datalog my life. Cheers

    Thanks for this great video - concise, and very useful I particularly appreciate your approach to the problem using online ressources. Thanks!
  • OMG you just made my day, have been looking for an option for my garage...
