It's feasible, but it would be best to eliminate the Arduino and let the Pi do everything. I found this page for interfacing an RC522 RFID reader with a Raspberry...

I have an RC522 RFID reader on order from Amazon. It should arrive tomorrow.

That's something I'll have to research once I get the reader and the Pi talking with each other. I'll definitely engage Tero. since he's obviously put a lot of work...

I played around with some code for reading specific blocks using lower level routines; the higher-level routines in the sample code always deal with text in blocks 8-10. When sending...

I've been PM'ing Tero on HeliFreak. I looked at the Bump Controller user's manual and there are several parameters in the bump tag and missing from Tero's implementation. He's following...

> Another option would be to never write back to the tag, introduce persistence into the server and count the tags there. That’d make incrementing the counter more reliable (we...

> (What Robbe-compatibility are you thinking of? Are going to control Robbe-chargers too?) No, just don't want to break the tags in such a way that the Robbe chargers can't...

Making progress on design (I'm really bored at work). I decided that I needed a separate thread for writing too, since it could be a while between initiating the write...

It's essentially a state machine: either it's reading (99.9% of the time) or it's writing. I've designed it so that only one thread can run at a time. When a...

@RC-Thoughts I'm not seeing any of the mappings to blocks 60 and 61 in the BID code that I saw in your code. I'm probably just missing some context, especially...
