Description
The UART-B1 module is an expansion of the RFID B1 module - the
second in an evolving family of 13.56 MHz sub assemblies from
Eccel Technology Ltd (IB Technology). The product is designed
with both embedded applications and computing / PLC platforms
in mind. This product is an ideal design choice if the user wishes to
add RFID capability to their design quickly and without requiring
extensive RFID and embedded software expertise and time. An on
board low power ARM microcontroller handles the RFID
configuration setup and provides the user with a powerful yet
simple command interface to facilitate fast and easy read/write
access to the memory and features of the various transponders
supported by this module. The UART-B1 can be also used with the
single boards computers e.g. Arduino.
