This RFID Receiver for WiPy makes it easy to interface RFID cards, fobs, tags, and stickers into your next automation application. Simply swipe a RFID device across the sensor and read the code into the WiPy at 9600 baud. The WiPyU includes an integrated I2C port for easy expansion to the entire NCD I2C Product Line. This design includes the popular EM18 RFID receiver, greatly simplifying software development. This product includes a 6″ (152mm) cable for remote mounting of the RFID reader. Includes RFID Card and RFID FOB.
This is a nodeLynk Master adapter. nodeLynk Master adapters speak to a chain of nodeLynk devices using I2C communications.
Chain expansion devices using nodeLynk. Connect a wide variety of accessories to expand the capabilities of a nodeLynk compatible controller. Use nodeLynk to add Relay Controllers, Sensors, PWM Drivers, Displays, and a wide variety of 4-20mA, 0-10V ADCs and DACs, as well as a wide array of TTL & Isolated GPIO devices. All nodeLynk devices use I2C communications to chain devices together. nodeLynk is an easy way to expand functionality without soldering. nodeLynk allows expansion in seconds so you can focus on your software and firmware development.
This device makes use of the UART receive line, and should not be used with other overlay shields that use the UART (including Communications and Key Fob overlay shields).
