This tutorial introduces a Processing interface sketch provides a GUI for the command-line interface written into the Arduino RFID example. You should read that tutorial first. The sketch shown here also allows you to upload tags it reads to O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology Conference attendee portal, and retrieves the resulting profile. The API for this was written by Edd Dumbill. The Processing sketch retrieves RFID tags from the Arduino reader serially, then passes the tag via a HTTP request to a PHP script on a remote server, shown below, that adds an authorized login to the O’Reilly site.

This tutorial shows how to make an Arduino-based RFID reader that reads Mifare tags and stores them in EEPROM. It is a modification of Alex Zivanovic’s code on Tinker.it. Thanks to Alex and Massimo Banzi for the reference. Once you’ve got it running, go on to the RFID to Web example, which provides a Processing interface sketch provides a GUI for the command-line interface written into the Arduino code.
