= RFID Reader =

This software supports the TI S6350 module for use as a RFID reader.  The Core Speedway lap counter uses this module.

Standard 13.56MHz ISO15693 tags should work.  

Documentation on the TI S6350 module along with a Windows example program can be downloaded from TI's site here:

= ISO 15693 Protocol =

For communication with the reader we are using the standard ISO15693 protocol instead of the proprietary TI Tag-IT protocol.  Documentation about this protocol can be downloaded from here:
