Examples

Reading the status

The status of the RFID module is read using the "GetRFIDStatus" macro which returns a byte which is then displayed using the PORTB pins. RFID Status Status byte breakdown for Mifare.

Status byte breakdown for ICode.

Status byte breakdown for HiTag.

Status byte breakdown for EM Marin.

Reading and Writing Data

Example which talks to a ICode type card and allows the data to be read and written via a keypad. RFID Read/Write

Macro compatibility

Not all the macros can be used with all card types, here is a list of RFID transponder types and the macros that are compatible.

	Scope Traces
Selects if the scope traces are automatically added to the data recorder window or not. Simulation - draws an approximation of the UART data onto the scope trace. ICT - sets up the scope trace for incoming data and adds UART packet decoding at the correct BAUD.
	Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not
	Console Columns
