Well, now that I think about this a bit, you have said you can't afford to buy the Phidgets reader a couple times now, but the only reason that would be an issue would be if you were using the Windows Logon code from the book project. Unfortunately that code requires the use of the Phidgets. I have no idea how an Arduino (or any other microproc) could emulate the Phidgets because we know nothing about the Phidgets USB communication protocol

I think you might be stuck.

I have and ID-12 Innovations one. It plugs into a breadboard and connects to an arduino - all provided by my university.

As its for a university project, I don't think it would be worthwhile buying the phidgets one.

Hmm,I don't think so because the Arduino would just be an expensive level shifter for the RFID reader. The software on the PC is doing the authentication magic. All the RFID reader has to do is get the tag ID data into the PC via an RS232 port or a USB virtual COM port. That can be achieved easily and cheaply.

What RFID reader do you have?

Has anyone ever attempted this with an Arduino set up with an RFID reader?

I'm trying to do it as a University project.

The Arduino and RFID reader I borrowed for free from uni - I can't afford the Phidgets reader!

The phidgets library is very version specific. software built using their library will only work with the library version it was built with. that means you have to uninstall the newer v2.1.7 library you installed, reboot, then install the older v2.0.8 library... then the RFIDGina software should work. If you have problems installing the v2.0.8 library, post the issues installing it and I'll see if I can't help out.

Do you have any software programming / coding experience? You could recompile the DLLs using the new library if you had sufficient skill.

can u please explain step by step on how to make it work?
if it cant work backward meaning that i cannot use this at all?

As it says in the post, the Phidgets libraries are typically not backward compatible. The DLL binaries were compiled using the older library, therefore they will only work with the older library. Your options are to remove the current library and install the older one, or recompile the source code yourself using the new library.

What version of Windows are you using? The RFIDGina code only works with Windows XP. To log into Vista or Windows 7, you have to buy a kit that includes the new reader and code that works with it and Vista/Win7.

hi there,
 
im trying to develop the project and having problem installing Phidget v.2.0.8 the one you attached at http://www.rfidtoys.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4&title=rfidgina-chapter-4
 
so i used the later version of Phidget installation which is v2.1.7.
 
will this be the source of the problem that i could not logon using the tag.
 
i have followed other instructions but when windows logon, i still have to fill in my password to logon.

Ok! The new reader hardware is available and I'm working on a Vista/Win7 login project.
