We're transferring old tennisrackets into RFID-readers with the purpose to make you aware you probably already are wearing RFID-tags with you.
This will involve an Arduino which will give the right commands to the RFID reader. When the setup finds a tag, it will do some action, probably make a sound, blink a led, or ... both!
*requirements:
-hardware
-three tennis rackets (already taken care of)
-three RFID readers (also already taken care of)
-three Arduinos (depends still, but we better have them ;-))
-three battery holders (already taken care of)
-everything for the icing on the cake once the setup works as expected, think: light, noise etcetera, shouldn't be too hard ;-)
-software
-possibility one:
flash the RFID-reader so it'll boot in a 'seek tag' mode
-possibility two:
hook up an arduino which will feed the 'seek tag' command through a serial connection.

Looks like progress
I've got a low frequency RFID reader with me. We could try to supplement one of the rackets with that as a way to make it more comprehensive. Supports these other protocols:
EM4x02
EM4x50
EM4x05 (ISO 11784/5 FDX-B)
