Awesome-pants Joe Grand designed the Parallax RFID reader, an easy way to add RFID reading to any electronics project. Maybe you want to plug it into a project with your Boarduino? Well, Johannes Otto did, and it works great!
Check out his flickr photoset and then download the code from Erik Sjodin’s site. Now get spime’ing!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Did this with a barebones arduino over a year ago. Joe’s RFID reader really is top notch. Lost my code since then, but it allowed you to hold down a momentary switch to scan the RFID source and store it to EEPROM. Future scans of the same RFID source would throw a reed relay. The video below shows the relay lighting a led:

Hi, Where did you get boarduino with USB connection? did you mix a normal boarduino with a Mini USB adapter? It isn’t?
I was trying to do the same thing but with a PIC microcontroler. But I don’t test it yet.
