It's quite powerful when someone holds a card within a few inches and they hear the beep and see a serial string output. They learn a few things quickly: RFID cards don't work when they're held X feet away, and that RFID readers boil down all the black-magic to a unique ID (string).<p>On top of that, the Serial to USB board can used as a simple breakout board for the module.</p></p>

The underlying module generates serial. That can be read by an Arduino, and a lock mechanism opened when an authorized RFID device is presented. How does providing a serial-to-USB interface help create a real-world useful system? (Note: Sparkfun DO SELL the ID-12 and ID 20... NICE modules!! And be sure to buy the headers for the eccentric pin pitch of the connectors from either.) More help at... http://sheepdogguides.com/arduino/art3rfid1.htm (That system has opened my front door for me since Feb 2011. I only use a traditional key during power cuts.</p>

In my testing it only works with the cards it was packed with. The other cards I have are 33 bit or more and none are able to read. My cards use a non standard configuration of the facility code but I was hoping to just be able to read the raw data even that last 32 bits of it would be fine, but no such luck.</p>

I have a question do you don't have a simple solution for people who are not programmer to write a card rfid under mac osx?</p>
