How to link Arduino Uno with RFID reader?

Postby musofa81 » Mon Dec 10, 2012 5:23 pm

Hi, I would like to know on how to establish a connection between Arduino Uno with RFID reader thru coding? Is it the board can be connected to any RFID reader? If yes how can I make use of pin 0 (RX) for receiving and pin 1 (TX) for transmitting? Now the reader is connected to the board via UART to RS232 Converter. Really appreciate if someone could help me. Thanks.

Basically, UNO is a microcontroller. Yes, you can connect it to the RFID, but level shifter is needed.

You should check some of related articles from Cytron:

May I know, what do u mean by level shifter is needed? By the way thanks for the link.

Level shifter is a converter that converts your voltage level just like max232 from TTL to RS232 level

Try to refer its communication protocol: http://www.acs.com.hk/drivers/eng/CMP_ACR122S_v2.00.pdf

Basically, UNO is a microcontroller. Yes, you can connect it to the RFID, but level shifter is needed.

Ya, you need a RS-232 to TTL converter, because the RS-232 protocol is running on 12V, while TTL at 5V. Using a MAX232 IC should do it.
