RFID (Read/Write)

Double-click on the RFID object labelled RFID Reader/Writer in order to run the example: [[Image:{{{1}}}_RFIDReadWrite_Example.jpg|center|link=]]


General information about the selected object will be displayed at the top of the window. You can also experiment with the following functionality:

  • Bring a compatible tag close to the 1024 and the tag's string and protocol will be displayed. Blank tags will not display anything until they are written to.
  • Toggle power to the antenna using the checkbox labelled Antenna Enabled. Toggling antenna power decreases power consumption, however, the 1024 will no longer be able to read or write tags.
  • Enabling keyboard output will cause your computer to write a string of text whenever a tag is discovered. Park your cursor in an empty text file and try it out!
  • Write to a tag by selecting the protocol from the drop-down menu, entering the desired tag in the Tag String text box, and pressing the Write button. If you enable the Lock checkbox, the tag will be permanently written to, and it will be impossible to overwrite.
