does anyone know of any?

or of any way to get a 6v rfid reader to run on a 12v battery?

Thanks!

or use a "voltage divider"

Thanks.

I tried that however and I couldnt not find what I was looking for.

I have an RFID reader that is powered by 6v, but I wish to use it with a 12v power source.

do you think this would work?

Hey thanks! I saw that lm317t im just not how sure how I would hook up a 6v jack to it?

im trying to use this rfid:

here is the datasheet:

USing this microcontroller:

The rfid reader has these connections:

Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2 & 3: Not Used
Pin 4: 5V (Regulated)
Pin 5: TX (Serial Transmit)
Pin 6: RC (Serial Receive)
Pin 7: Ground
Pin 8: Not Used

could I not just hook the pin5 to the microcontrollers 5v pins?
