OK. Here is one idea for a system. Can someone please help me understand the last lines regarding the SDK. What I mean is, what additional info should I get regarding this and did anyone develop something like this before?
I am working with Mac traditionally but if needs be, I can get a PC for this project. I want to get the data into Izzy.Is there anyone around NYC that I can hire on an artist salary, to write it for me?Thank you for contacting GAO RFID INC.As per our conversation today, please see the details below for our 433 MHz RFID tags and reader system,

The reader can work with mac however we do not have any source codes or demo program for mac. You can use communications protocol to make an application for mac.**Let me know if interested? or have any questions.Thanks for choosing GAO RFID Best Regards, -
sdk means software development kit - it means they have examples written in .net, a coding standard used alot with Microsoft.
The reader will have details of how it transmits information over a network - this could be read on a mac, but they only have example code for doing it on pc.
did you say you needed to track distance as well as get an ID number when talking with them ?
-
Yes. I need both. From what I gather I can get both because each card would have a unique ID.
Do you know anyone who could write some code for me to translate the info?I saw that they have some SDKs for PC but I do not know if what they have already would translate into Izzy. -
Dear David,
One idea: use a PC to read the data, send it to Izzy on a Mac via OSC or serial communications. A cheap net book on the PC side should be totally sufficient.Best,M -
Hello everyone.
Sad news. As in many of these projects, another one fell because of the lack of funding.Well, if anyone is going to explore Active RFID's, I would be happy to share what I found.Thank you all for your comments.
