= RFID Reader =

Currently this software only supports the TI S6350 module for reading RFID tags.  This is the same module used in the Core Speedway lap counter.

= ISO 15693 Protocol =

[wiki:ISO15693]

= Software implementation =

In order to use the TI reader within RealBasic we had to implement some of the serial protocol ourselves.  In order to use the TI Reader with the [wiki:ISO15693] protocol you must first generate a command encapsulated in the TI protocol and have the payload of the command be the [wiki:ISO15693] command.  Only 3 of the commands are necessary, Inventory All Slots, Inventory 1 Slot and Silence.  


= RFID Tags =

The following tag can be used with the TI S6350 module:

Other standard tags should work.
