RFID troubles
I purchased the reader and tag sampler, downloaded the sample code and have it running on a BS2.
The only tag the reader 'sees' is the white card, and that is only when I lay it on the reader.
I read that it is supposed to have a range of about 4". It will not pick up any of the other tags in the kit. Is this normal? What could I be doing wrong?
I have tried a different BS2, & checked the voltage.
When I type in the tag ID, of the white card, in the program it still reads it "unauthorized"
Any suggestions?

I have run 3 different program samples on two BS2's with the same results. [noparse]:([/noparse]

The bridge you see in that photo is normal as those pads are connected together on the PCB. It does seem you have a problem related to the antenna portion though so you should definitely take Mike Green’s advice and call our Tech Support Dept.

I am now reading the keyfob at a full 4" and the White cards at 4.5".
Sorry to say I destroyed the Black World tag seeing if it had anything in it.
I just sent the first unit back to the tech department today. They will test it and find nothing wrong
Oh well live and learn....
