I don't normally spam the group with things, but I suspect a lurker or two may find this curious. Basically due to a cockup, these RFID tags and readers are going cheap, and I ordered a set yesterday and it arrived today - which I find a little impressive :)
Now to figure out how to componentise to enable me to either control Joe's "Jam" or Dave's mindstorms component :) Michael. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [GeekUp] tikitag RFID Date: Thursday 29 Jan 2009 From: John Baxendale <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Anonymised(ish) and cross-posted from another list, think this will be of interest to some GeekUp'ers. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Hello all, Alcatel-lucent have an RFID venture called 'Tikitag' (aka the 'internet of things'). Wank marketing aside, the reader is a quite nice USB based PCSC ACR122(sam) from ACS, and the included tags are 'Mifare UltraLights'. Now, Alcatel-Lucent have made a big balls-up and they are not allowed to use the 'Tikitag' name, so they have a 2 week grace period to sell off their stockpiled RFID stuff with the 'tikitag' brand. They have released a 75% discount coupon code "TLOYCODE" that can be used at< http://www.tikitag.com/e-store> you can get a USB RFID reader and 10 tags delivered for about a tenner. I've been playing with this device quite a bit for the last few months, and you can read a bit about it at my blog - < http://hackerati.com/post/57314994/rfid-on-the-cheap-hacking-tikitag> ------------------------------------------------------- -- http://yeoldeclue.com/blog http://twitter.com/kamaelian http://www.kamaelia.org/Home --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "kamaelia" group.
