Introduction
This set of articles will cover the design process of an RFID tags tracker using an mbed & the RS-EDP platform.
First we will see how to prototype the design quickly with the mbed, and then how to port it to the RS-EDP platform.
Functionalities
The device will log Mifare tags Ids on a remote MySQL server. It will either be connected through Ethernet, Wi-Fi or GPRS. Also, the device will log events locally on a SD card.
Implementation
The following components and modules will be used:
- ARM mbed & EDP carrier module
- RS-EDP baseboard
- RWD Mifare module + antenna
- A Breadboard, an Ethernet socket & SD card socket
