  • Hi, the reader is able to read the card through my wallet but would it be able to read it say if I put the chip in the back of my watch? Thanks

  • @v390 Not sure - the metal of the watch might interfere, I'd seal the chip and antenna inside some Sellotape. Only one way to find out!

  • i did it with the new oyster card, put it in my watch and it works like a charm :D thanks man

  • @xyzgogo7 Really? What type of chip / antenna was inside? Do you have pics? Show us!

  • how can implant the chip into my iphone?

  • @Secondsnow but it has to be long enough to induce an electrical charge from the transmitter so that the chip actually gets power.

  • @clodester Nah , the afaik the arial just generates power for the chip.

  • @frankcswain I thought the aerial is also intrinsic to the frequency the chip can transmit at. Therefore if you put a piece of wire of a different length, it won't be on the correct fq for the tube reader to read....I could be wrong though. I don't know enough about RFID. I really would love a working extracted chip. But they are pricey things to hack. if you mess one up, they are like £5 a time!

  • it worked i put it on my watch thanks

  • @Semajal Wow! That's a REALLY good question. I will ask my Twitter nerds.

  • @frankcswain If the aerial is only for power, would it be possible to actually provide it with a power source? Removes the need to have a coil?
