RFID Tag Scanner App

[Daz Court]

Hi all,

Is it possible in AI2 to make a RFID Scanner.

It needs to be able to scan RFID tag and then do one of 2 things, display the RFID serial number or connect to an API to retrieve data using the serial number as a variable then display the result on a formatted manner

Is this possible using just the device without any additional readers ?

any pointers most appreciated.

Thanks

You need an RFID reader to be able to read RFID's. Your best bet is an Arduino device. See this thread:

A phone can read a 13.56MHz RFID tag. However, the App Inventor NearField block can only read an NDEF text message from an NDEF formatted NFC (ISO14443A/B) tag. Unfortunately it cannot read the RFID serial number.

So, you'll need to look elsewhere. Another free fairly easy to use development platform, but requires coding, is https://flutter.dev/

If you are simply looking for a generic off-the-shelf free Android app that triggers tasks when reading a tag then check out NFC Tasks. It might do the job. There are other similar apps out there too.
