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.

@GregWoodsLancs9 років тому
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.

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
@Sabhail_ar_Alba9 років тому
Thanks for that informative presentation. My own interest is to clone the RFID fob I have for entry into my apartment (which I've been informed will cost £60 if lost - apparently they need to "send an engineer" - lol).
@funkydunky16717 років тому
better find where a controller is in your appartment. determine the model, find the manual, reset it to factory defaults, and program your own cards into it. you will end up with a master card which can be used to teach our own cards as regular entry keys. the master card or any teached in regular cards of your landlord will no longer work :) no extra hardware is required besides a couple of extra compatible cards. do not forget to give your new master card to your landlord after you end the rent.
@ggman12546 років тому
Funky Dunky Why not just sell the masterkard to the most shady guy in the neighboorhood. You might get a bugs.

We have started to use them on our project: Automated Library Management System, wherein we would be using the tags for identifying book, tracking, security checks, smooth technical processing of the books, easy to locate books in library and also certain membership management techniques for library users.
@tombraselton26712 роки тому
Haha! I just got these to play with as well. Got it all working and thought the same thing: I don’t know what I would practically use it for…. Thanks for the video!
@linuspauly23805 років тому
Well you could use it for hidden doors or something like that - you could just put the electronics inside something - you could also add those rf-relay-buttons to it so you could control anything with it - youd need a way to power it tho

@DigBipper1888 років тому
You just gave me the best idea for a keycard based power button... get one of these, an arduino and a relay...
@vistron8888 років тому
I bought a bunch of those blue RFID tags for my alarm system. Originally they were fine but over time they become very weak. You have to touch the alarm receiver in a very exact spot and with the flat side of the tag, otherwise it just won't work. Meanwhile the original tag (grey block) supplied with the alarm works fine. There's something definitely iffy about these blue ones.
@lalmohanjena45242 роки тому
Thanks! Greatly appreciated!!
@micromachine79548 років тому
I would love a video that explains how to install one these say in a vehicle. Like the new cars that have the chip in the key. You could set the reader near the keys and only allow the car to start if the chip is in proximity. It sounds like a fun project and it could potentially keep your car a little safer from theft. If you really wanted to get clever you could install it on the power supply for the fuel pump rather then the ignition and place the reader under a cup holder or something so if you were parking your car in a bad area all you have to do is grab the chip outta the cup holder to disable the fuel pump. Just thinking out loud here but I could think of all kinds of fun things to do with rfid if it wasn't so complicated to set-up.
@Jenko0229 років тому
Thanks for sharing this. Just wondered would you be able to read data from any RFID tag?
@EpicAwesomeWin879 років тому
This is interesting! Im planning to make an adoptation of this tech to our shared laundry room at my landlords houses. Or maybe some totaly unecessary stuff like a RFID startbutton to an old PC.
@shreyasmahangade37746 років тому
Hi Julian, This was a great video and very informative. Thank you for it. Just want to ask how to make this reader to read more than one tag. If i stacked more than one cards within the range of reader reader won't detect any of those. Any solution?

@msgcheckout8 років тому
Julian, there are hundreds of uses for RFID tags, like for instance, chipping pets, (these are tiny glass capsules which are placed in the neck of a dog or a cat or other animals, and the chip ID can be read and pets are registered on a data base, so when lost and found they can be reunited with their owners, you could use them on cat flaps that reads the chip of your pet and only allows it the access to come into the house and other animals are denied access. You could mark your property, etc etc, I understand that such technology will be implemented on supermarket items such that a reader will read all the items in your trolley and produce a bill that you simply pay and walk out without having to take items out of your trolley on to a supermarket conveyor belt for scanning individual product.
@iansmith33017 років тому
You think they're going to put RFID tags on every banana ever sold?
@skubberson53787 років тому
Sure. They put stickers on all fruits now anyway. Why not a low cost RFID sticker just like the ones they put on other packages?

Large retailers already use RFID for garment stock control. They can identify each garment as it comes in the back door and when sold. They can also tell if it gets nicked...

Would you go into detail while using known key and blocking unknown keys. I can't seem to get any of my RFID tags to work even with the default program after removing factory default (FF).

@Jishnu.Janardhanan9 років тому
Uses of RFID ( i dont know how many of are implemented), If you got any ideas feel free to add them as replys. 1. Package tracking. 2. Access control. 3. To store product info in package replacing barcode 4. Store indoor/outdoor location information such as lobby, stairs, elevator which can be used by blind and other disabled people. Put the cards/tags in location and a reader in cane/wheelchair will read it. 5. Pet control, get some RFID tags and install RFID reader in kitchen door to keep them away from kitchen, If you dont like pets in kitchen.
@reggiebacci9 років тому
I know exactly what you mean about cryptanalysis papers Julian - I glaze over after the first couple of pages usually. I can recommend Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier though, even if you just use it as a reference. Also, you were right, The Imitation Game is definitely worth a watch. Loved it, thanks.
@mmehdijamali9 років тому
Hi Julian, First thank you for the video, the explenations are great. I'm currently doing a small project on RFID but I'm a beginner in electronic stuffs, I would like to try this so I was wondering if you could give me the references of the components you use, for example I heard you use a "pro mini" I search for it but I don't know exactly which one to take.

@khashmeshab7 років тому
Great video. I've worked with the exact same modules, but because their range is extremely low, I couldn't use them for my project. And at the end, you say it's complicated! Huh? These chips has lots and lots of awesome features. For example if you take multiple cards or tags close to it simultaneously, you can get the list of all of them and then decide which one do you want to communicate with. Or you can pace two modules in front of each other and have a wireless connection using NFC. Now, those are complicated buddy!

Can i program the pro mini so that whenever i tap the card on the rfid it will write the card automatically ?
@bertriksikken8 років тому
I have one of those inexpensive RC-522 readers. While it reads the card and the keychain thingy that came with the package just fine, I can't really get it to work with other mifare cards (both 1k and 4k cards, and yes I'm sure they're mifare). I've done a lot of experimentation with the library from miguelbalboa, like trying to change the receiver gain registers and the pmos and nmos conductance, but no success yet. Perhaps the supporting electronics to connect the RC-522 chip to the reader/writer coil is not up to specification, or perhaps even the RC-522 chip is fake? So, I guess you get what you pay for...

@jamesaddyman55067 років тому
spent ages trying to get one of these working in conjunction with a data logging RTC/SD shield on a nano, both communicating over SPI. Turns out it doesn't have tri-state IO. When CS is high (chip disabled), it won't let any other device use the MISO line. Took hours to fault find this!! You'd expect an implementation of SPI to be able to share lines. Surely that's the whole point of SPI! Can't spare anymore IO on the Nano so going to have to try multiplexing the MISO line with a dedicated chip.

@dylanwilliams98607 років тому
Since you asked at the end of the video, you could use one of those to generate a grocery list if you hook it up inside your fridge. Then just write the information (name, type, expiry) and have it attached to the object so when it expires or is out of the fridge for a certain amount of time it would write it on a digital list for you to take to the grocery store. Even make it more advanced and have it search your fridge for ingredients when you find a recipe you want to make so you know If you have everything required!
@dylanwilliams98607 років тому
Another idea I just had was if you felt like doing an air quality experiment but didn't feel like creating a webserver to compile the data to you could use a USB with a reader on it to read all your different stations and have them logged in that way.
