RFID controller with LCD and Lan connection
Hello,
·
This is the first time I visit the website and there a so many products I can not choose witch one I need for my first project.
·
So I looking for a self-made RFID controller who can access a database and this will be register if the person is in or out the building. I have some experience with visual basic 2005/2008/2010
·
Next to the door there will be a RFID reader and is connected to a database on a computer. The computer is almost 10 meters away so I can not use a USB interface but I can use LAN (Ethernet).
·
After the person showed his tag card the person will see at the LCD display that the register is ok.
·
With product do you prefer to make this real. Ehmmmm I can not soldering
·
Thank you so much.

Welcome to the Forums.
Can you tell us how many people you are trying to track?
For low numbers of people, you might be able to do it with the memory available in a BS2sx or BS2px.
Also, it would help if you could describe the process in greater detail:
For example:
1. approach RFID and scan tag
2. controller checks for valid tag number
3. is the person already in the building?
4. display information on LCD
Cheers,

It will be for a small amound of people. There are working, but I need to see at my desktop who are in the building?
The proces what I concider:
1. A person has a tag card
2. Shows his card to the RFID reader
3. Display will say: Please what
4. There wil be a connection to the desktop: This is alwas on.
5. At the backgrond of this desktop there will be a .NET visual basic application running
6. This .NET program will check if the person is in the database and change the status to"In the Building".
7. When the status is changed the LCD says. Welkom in the building When the person will leave the building it wille say for instant: Goodbye
Like this. But witch product will you recommand an can you work with a network connextion instat of a USB connection
1) RFID Reader
Stamp controller
PINK (The PINK provides a web server that can transfer data to the Stamp)
... See www.parallax.com/StoreSearchResults/tabid/768/txtSearch/pink/List/0/SortField/4/ProductID/40/Default.aspx
2) RFID Reader
Stamp controller
Easy Bluetooth ~~wireless~~ PC with built-in Bluetooth
... The wireless link acts like a direct serial connection and may work over 10 meters depending on what's in the way.
3) RFID Reader
YBox2 controller (Propeller-based) ~~~LAN~~~ PC
... The YBox2 has a built-in TCP/IP stack and can act as a web server and/or web client.
... See www.ladyada.net/make/ybox2/ and www.deepdarc.com/ybox2.
What do you think if I use those product
Or do I miss something?

RFID Reader
Stamp controller
Easy Bluetooth ~~wireless~~ PC with built-in Bluetooth.
But can I change Easy Bluetooth ~~wireless~~ to
433 MHz RF Transceiver ~~wireless~~
I hope this will help, because I like all the information of Parallex
The 433 MHz Transceivers have better range, but you'll need an interface on the PC side which is easy to make. Also, these have no error checking built-in and you'll have to complicate your code to improve reliability -- not hard, but it has to be done.
When people mix different suppliers' products including some from Parallax and have problems and ask about them here, the best that can be done is to try to answer generally and to provide examples of the use of the Parallax product with a Stamp since there's so much available in the way of documentation about the Stamps and they're pretty easy to understand and generalize about.
The Sandbox forum here is intended for discussion of non-Parallax products and other topics not specifically related to Parallax products. Generally, when someone starts a long thread there about a product that competes with a Parallax product, they're asked to move it to a forum at the competitor's website (if it exists).
