Yun-RFID

An Arduino Yun project for reading RFID tags and doing things - all wrapped in MQTT!

ABOUT

This project is about creating a little and hopefully not so shortsighted DIY solution for reading RFID tags with a Arduino and manage subsequent actions. The aim is to create a standalone solution that could be easily integrated in a wider environment, thus allowing end-user to quickly make it work almost out-of-the-box, while letting developers extending it with a little extra effort.

Every code review, suggestion and reuse of current code is welcome!

UNDER THE HOOD

Software architecture is based on MQTT protocol.

• Yun OpenWRT hosts a Mosquitto MQTT server and some client scripts.
• Yun sketch reads RFID tags and publish them on local server over a certain channel.
• Client scripts manage standalone operations
• Mosquitto could be configured in bridge mode (see [1] or even [2]), in order to share messages with another MQTT server, thus allowing every kind of extensions.

REQUIRED HARDWARE

• Arduino YUN
• RFID Serial Reader (I used the Seeddstudio one) see here
• Wires and so on...
