I have been using the Arduino platform for a while now(about 6 months) and I tried to hook up the RDM3600 RFID reader to my Arduino Uno and it seems like the reader does not communicate with the board. I present a card, but the serial interface does not display a serial number or anything. I am following this tutorial:
http://tronixstuff.com/2013/11/19/arduino-tutorials-chapter-15-rfid/
I modified the code to get an indication that the setup was complete:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial RFID(2, 3);
int i;
void setup()
{
RFID.begin(9600);
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("ready");
}
void loop()
{
if (RFID.available() > 0)
{
i=RFID.read();
Serial.print(i, DEC);
Serial.println(" next");
}
}
Does anyone have any idea why I don't get any communication from the RDM3600 when I present a RFID tag.
