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?
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!
