It lit up but wouldn't read any tags. I thought it may be my tags so, I got more. Nope, defective.The antenna wires are DELICATE! If you decide to waste your money on this, tape the antenna and wires to a paper card as soon as you get it. They will break if you're not real careful.

I hooked this up to an Arduino and had no issues coding for it and utilizing it to read and write various tags, and was also able to read Kyber crystals from Disneyland.

Absolute garbage and horribly frustrating. What a waste of time.

I bought this to test the possibility of reading multiple tags at the same time within range of the antenna. The test failed. It may be possible to read multiple tags without special random delay hardware built-in, but this reader can't do it. Otherwise it worked fine the first time I hooked it up. The data coming out is 9600 baud serial. A 0x02 byte proceeds a string of ASCII digits followed by a 0x03 to terminate the string. If you hold the tag in range, it will just repeatedly transmit the ID.This particular antenna has a very narrow range of distance where it will read. It was basically 3cm. The antenna itself is just a simple coil of wire, but the insulated wires attached to it have no strain relief, so handle them with care or they'll break off.

I bought this to interface with my Arduino and a relay to open and close my garage door. This reader will keep transmitting the chip ID the entire time you have the chip in a detectable range. I found it difficult to make logical commands based on this because the data keeps streaming in very quickly every time the program loops. I was able to edit the RDM630 Arduino library to add a rfid.end( ); command that I use to stop the data after receiving a badge ID that I'm granting access with. After my code finishes it's opening the garage door business it enables the RFID to read again with therfid.begin ( ); command// Hope this helps someone who's novice like myself.
