My appologies ahead of time for this not being an Arduino specific question, but I'm hoping those who are much smarter in these two areas and point me in the right direction....
A short(?) description of my project.....
Basicly three locations within a building. Three RFID readers. Person one goes to room one, swipes RFID. RFID tag info is passed to a server and the data (tag ID, time/date) is written to a SQL DB. A LED strip over the door turns red.
Person one then goes to room 2 and the cycle repeats itself.
Now, person 2 goes to room 1, swipes his RFID and his info is logged back on the server. Now, when person one swiped, a LED strip on the outside of the door displays blue.
Pretty simple in theory and maybe I am over thinking this, but looking for a nudge in the right direction. Which would be more appropriate for this application? The Arduino or the Raspberry pi?
In my VERY limited experience, I'm thinking the Raspberry simply for the networking and USB functionality.
Looking forward to the input.
