demo: rfid reader + arduino for point of sale solution

Tags: , , , ,

i’ve put together this video as a demo of “intuit checkout” – the idea that won the last intuit ideajam contest.

intuit checkout is a low-cost point of sale hardware/software solution that uses an arduino prototyping board and a parallax rfid reader.

all of the item data associated with the unique ids on the rfid’s are stored securely in a quickbase online database.

    Nice demo! It’s amazing what you can do with QuickBase + Flex :)

    Cool stuff! Do you have anything stating what you used such as type of RFID reader? and how you hooked it up to the arduino?

    Thanks,

    Hi. I used the Parallax RFID serial reader here. i’ll post the source when i get home later so you can see how to use it.

    Hey, I like what you did and I was just wondering if you had posted the source up for this project yet.

    Thanks!

    I’m a little lost, perhaps I am missing it somewhere, but I just cannot seem to find the source (or a link to it) anywhere on the page….
