I see you said you use the parallax reader. A couple questions: which model reader? Which RFID are you using (size? EM41XX?)? I already have Hitag S implanted, and received the my 2mm x 12mm EM4102 in the post, today. Before I go ahead and get the EM4102 implanted, I'm looking for the correct combination, to accomplish what you have in this video.
@AtheosPhyve The reader is the serial (not USB) read-only module designed for the EM4100 family of 125kHz tags.
The tag is a 3mm x 13mm EM4102. I decided to go with the larger size for the marginally better range, but a 2x12 would have worked. Also, it is not always very reliable/quick-to-read by placing my palm to the glass as shown in the video. I usually flip my hand over so the chip is closer to the reader, and this will probably be "more" necessary with a 2x12.
rfid...what a retarded invention, why would you want to put a chip inside you... :O also that will be used in the future as names so basically your name with be a number..even though it already is but still never gonna get one
@lilletizz We burn people to death BECAUSE we love them.
RFID technology is the future. We will have more efficient technology, with more easy use and access of appliances and we will save ourselves time that can be devoted to other things. Instead every technological development seems to be opposed by nut-jobs that can only see the down side.
@amalgraafstra Thanks man! You were my inspiration for doing this! I saw a magazine article about you when I was 15 and had just gone half and half with my dad on my first car so, being the aspiring geek I was I decided I wanted to get an RFID implant and use it to unlock my car doors. However, my dad didn't like the idea of me splicing into my car and my hand at age 15, probably for good reason haha. So 3 years later at age 18 I decided to go ahead and do it.
@GTForTheWin It's really cool to see people "taking RFID into their own hands" and making these kinds of projects. I use mine every day to get into my house and the datacenter where I keep my servers. If you get a chance, post some info and pix of the project on the rfidtoys[dot]net forum. I'm always interested to see how people build their projects. What reader did you use? Is it always on or is there a proximity switch? Do you have a power drain problem? etc. Very curious :)
@amalgraafstra I used a Parallax RFID reader with an Arduino and a darlington transistor connected in parallel with the unlock switch in the door. It's always on and no power drain problems :] I did the calculations and I can't remember the numbers, but I remember that I found it to be negligible as long as I start the car once every couple weeks.
@amalgraafstra (cont. because of length limit) Since I installed everything I've only had the car die once but that was because I left it for 5 days with the GPS on lol. So far the longest the car has sat between starts is just over a week and it cranked right up, didn't show any signs of a low battery... as long as I just remember to turn that GPS off, it's not a problem :-P
@GTForTheWin Heh nice. I had a rather inefficient reader in my motorcycle that pulled 250ma sitting idle and it pretty much killed the bike within a week if it wasn't ridden regularly. I've since swapped it out, but I've also seen people go ultra low power on small battery packs by using a proximity sensor that puts power to the reader only when something is close enough to be read.
@amalgraafstra Oh yeah, if I didn't have a plenty big enough battery in my car I might have evaluated it more carefully. I've been working (admittedly quite passively since I'm short on time due to classes starting) on an Arduino project involving interfacing with a motorola pay-as-you-go phone over serial and using it's (slow, but sufficient) data to frequently check a PHP page on my server.
@GTForTheWin (ran out of room again..) I could use this interface to send commands to enable/disable outputs as well as retrieve input data from the Arduino and GPS data from the phone's built in chip. The phone will be controlled with a Java app I've written using Mobile Processing's IDE. To simplify all this... remote control locks/lights/horn and data logging of things like enviornment, locked status, GPS location, and possibly engine data via OBDII down the road
@GTForTheWin Oh, and YES I intend to use a seperate deep cycle AGM battery for this project if I ever get around to it, because I'm sure it would have no trouble killing the battery lol.
@amalgraafstra I have, but with Boost Mobile data is only .35/day which comes out to $10 flat rate per month, and SMS costs .05 per SMS, so depending on how much I use it it could go either way. I also decided it was easier to interface with the server via PHP over the net versus SMS since I don't have any experience interfacing SMS and a computer in the fashion that is required
@GTForTheWin Hmm yeah. I've got a GSM modem with SIM card in it that I use to communicate with various little projects here and there. I've also been looking at using Google Voice as the SMS interface on the server side. Data is getting so cheap these days, it might not matter. The "super wifi" band was just released by the FCC as well, opening the door for next gen WiMax... it's only going to get easier and cheaper for small wireless devices to communicate on the net.
@amalgraafstra On a side note, these implants really are great ice breakers. It's great to see people's reaction, and my girlfriend of 8 months once told me she even finds it attractive lol

This has been flagged as spam show
what are you using to trigger the doors to unlock is it a relay or an alarm system
