On a slight twist to radio data communications:
I wish to use an "ID-12" RFID module to authenticate users to a system: most likely to be a standalone system such as an electronically operated door lock.
I will use the ASCII mode of data transfer. <i>Silicon Chip </i> reports that a tag will transmit 40-bits (5 bytes) of information to the module and that will be sent serially to a microcontroller (PICAXE). I was wondering how this may be accomplished?
Would it be as simple as:
<code><pre><font size=2>SERIN pin, speed (b0,b1,b2,b3,b4) </code></pre></font>
A datasheet for this device can be found at an <A href='http://www.adilam.com.au/techpage/RFID/ID%20SERIES%20SR_2004-2-10_%20rev13.pdf' Target=_Blank>External Web Link</a> or http://www.adilam.com.au/techpage/RFID/ID%20SERIES%20SR_2004-2-10_%20rev13.pdf. The data protocol can be found on page 6 of this document (and I assume that STX and ETX are "start of transmission" and "end of transmission" respectively.) I amd not overly concerened about using the checksum.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
