RFID Read/Write with Arduino Robot

Hello, we are trying to add the black RFID reader/writer found at http://www.parallax.com/product/28440 to the Arduino Robot from Arduino.cc found at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Robot

We cannot determine how to add this sensor to the robot. We did find this article however, which has been of some assistance: http://playground.arduino.cc/Learning/ParallaxRFIDreadwritemodule

Thank you for the help.

    It looks like Transmit goes to Pin 6 on Arduino, Receive goes to Pin 8. You then need to connect to 5V and then Ground. Should work after that with the code they provided.

    It looks like Parallax recently added Arduino code. I am not sure though if the setup is the same as for the BASIC Stamp 2, which is Pin 0 connects to SIN and Pin 1 connects to SOUT.

    Since this article appears to be complete, with wiring instructions and code, what exactly is the issue you are having?

    I am a software engineer, but not a hardware person. I don't know where the pins are supposed to be connected to. Detailed diagrams are typically what is needed; however, I am reviewing the replies I received above and I will see if I can figure it out. Thanks for the help so far, everyone
