Hi I have Allflex cow ear tags that I can read with an RS420 tag reader. I wonder if your code works for this tag.

Hello, As mentioned in readme file, HW and code work with HDX @134.2Khz ear tag. System has been tested with below ear tag model: image

Thanks. What hardware or Bluetooth module did you use for reading the RFID tag?

glecuy commented 4 months ago

Hello, I used regular ESP32 development module, this module has builtin Bluetooth and wifi hardware. (Available on amazon, azdelivery and many other) For RFID part, I used home made RX and TX coils and home made analog hardware interface (as simple as possible) Performances obtained was error free reading at about 5 to 7 cm. Several improvements could be made to achieve stable and practical use. (battery powered, smart phone application and of course mechanical design)
