Code Overview
RFIDuino_helloworld1 is the most basic code to use the RFIDuino. The code will create an RFIDuino object ,myrfid, and use it to run the decodeTag function. This function looks for a tag swipe happening across the antenna. If this function is succesful, it stores the data in an array and returns a true signal. Once a tag swipe is detected, the buzzer and light are activated.
EXTRA CREDIT: Modify the program so that it turns on the Red LED instead of the green one. Download Solution Files
