Friday, May 17th, 2013

I had a chance to review the 13.56MHz RFID field detector from Montie Gear and I have to say, I like this detector. It’s very thin, somewhat flexible, and is the size of a credit card so it fits in my wallet.

This video demonstrates how to get a good consistent read with a 2x12mm Mifare S50 tag and a mobile phone. I use my Samsung Galaxy Nexus to read a glass 2x12mm S50 tag in a sterilization pouch, and read the tag implanted in my right hand.

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

I had some questions from Dangerous Things customers that centered around getting a good consistent read of the 2x12mm NFC compatible tags they purchased. Rather than respond via email, I figured it would be easier to make this video to explain how to get the tag to read consistently when used with typical “flat plane” […]

As long as you didn’t need to inter-op with other readers, this wasn’t a big deal. However as soon as […]
