Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a common technology used for access control in schools and offices, animal identification, and product asset tracking. The MFRC522 module is a 13.56MHz RFID reader/writer that uses SPI to communicate with devices. The MFRC522 is compatible with both Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and a large range of RFID tags and cards. The kit we have assembled comes with an MFRC522 module, 6 RFID tags (3 fobs, 3 cards), and a 3D printed fixture for holding the MFRC522 - which makes getting started with RFID for Arduino very easy.
Included in the MFRC522 RFID Kit for Arduino:
1x MFRC522 RFID Module
6x RFID Tags (3x Cards, 3x Fobs)
1x 3D Printed Fixture
4x M3 Screws and Nuts for Affixing the MFRC522 Module to the Fixture
9x Female-to-Male Jumper Wires
Some Features of the MFRC522 RFID Module:
3.3V and 5.0V Supply Voltage
13.56MHz Operating Frequency
SPI Communication (Arduino, Raspberry Pi Compatible)
Capable of Communication with MIFARE Tags
10cm Read Range (between tag and reader)
