Hi Jeremy,

Good day there and do hope you're keeping well.

I just wanted to ask if you can advice me as to how I might be able to program Arduino to interact with an RFID Tag and ask it to trigger an action i.e: an email to open, a video to play, a sound to listen, when it is read by a reader?

Is that possible with the Arduino?

I have gotten my hands on several of these materials from Sparkfun.com (but could not really find the accurate resource just yet to program it):
1. RFID tags within the range of 125 kHz (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9417)
2. RFID USB Reder (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8852)
3. RFID ID-20 Reader (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8628)
4. Arduino Uno

Any advice you might be able to provide would be invaluable and I thank you in advance.

With thanks,
Cnec

I'll have a tutorial on read RFID tags in the coming weeks. In the meanwhile, this tutorial might be useful: http://www.cooking-hacks.com/index.php/documentation/tutorials/arduino-rfid It's not specifically for your parts, but you can probably extrapolate the info you need.
