Connecting And Checking The RFID Sensor With Arduino

Introduction

 
In this blog, I am going to explain about connecting and checking the RFID sensor with Arduino. It will be used to tell the usage of the bar code and the senses in the serial monitor.
 
Parts Of Lists
  • Arduino Uno
  • RIFD Sensor
  • Barcode Things
  • Bread Board
  • Hook-Up Wires 
Connection
 
Connect the sensor to the Arduino board of the 06,05. It will be used to detect which type of things are there. It will be used to display the message in the Serial monitor. 
 
Programming
  1. #include <SoftwareSerial.h>

Explanation
 
In this RFID sensor, it will be used to detect the message in the serial monitor. If the tags are found, they will send the message as "TAG FOUND"  and afterward, it will show as the "Access denied ".
