Mikroe LIGHTRANGER 10 CLICK

RC522 – RFID Reader /Writer with Cards Kit includes a 13.56MHz RF reader and writer module that uses an RC522 IC and two S50 RFID cards tag. The MF RC522 is an integrated transmission module for contactless communication at 13.56 MHz. RC522 supports ISO 14443A/MIFARE mode. RC522 – RFID Reader features an outstanding modulation and demodulation algorithm to serve effortless RF communication at 13.56 MHz. The S50 RFID Cards will ease up the process helping you to learn and add the 13.56 MHz RF transition to your project.

The module uses SPI to communicate with microcontrollers. The open-hardware community already has a lot of projects exploiting the RC522 – RFID Communication, using Arduino.
