Sparkfun now selling ID12 readers

We have been making a lot of prototypes with the Innovations ID12 RFID readers in the past few months. We’ve been getting them from the super-helpful Core RFID, and now Sparkfun is selling them.

The ID12s measure just 25mm x 26mm and include their own antenna. They are great because they are packaged in a form that is very adaptable to many prototyping needs, including inside a toy dog’s nose.

Sparkfun have designed their own breakout board for the ID12 which should make connecting it easier in the future.

Update Tom Igoe’s latest book Making things talk includes lots of details about getting an ID12 to work with Arduino and processing code.

    Does anyone know a simple interface circuit? Maybe a simple rs232 type to say, PIC? Thanks
