Topic: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

A slightly different patch than the "quietears" one should let you test RFID.

This time the ears rotate, but during the rotation before a message, instead of having red lights you'll have:

White, if no RFI is detected
A different color: Voila! You own a RFID card readable by your bunny

Unfortunately this is theoretical, as I couldn't find any RFID card for that changed the color  (remember it has to be a "type B" RFID card)

So, if anyone wants to run a opennab rfid plugin, do tests, and report his findings, the code would be:

         $request->reply[31726] = chr(101);
         $request->reply[31727] = chr(5);
         $request->reply[31728] = chr(101);
         $request->reply[31729] = chr(5);
         $request->reply[31730] = chr(101);

these changes are INSTEAD of the changes originally present in the quietears plugin. We want the ears to rotate, so we've time to observe the light. Put the RFID tag on the bunny nose before asking for the message.
For my tests I dis:
1) send myself a message with  opennab api_demo
2) put tag next to nose (not mine, the bunny one)
3) press button on head to download the message
4) observe light color

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

i totally want to get RFID. Both of the kittens are tagged (hopefully with a "B" chip), and I have a few here and there. I guess my next step is to install opennab, huh?

Haha, I forgot about animals being chipped!

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

I need to get OpenNab working first wink

Then I have two chipped cats!

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

I think we're out of lack with pets.
This is from ISO webpage (remember we need 14443-B)

ISO has published a number of standards, including for the RFID of animals (ISO 11784), and is currently developing supply-chain applications of RFID for freight containers (ISO/DIS 17363), returnable transport (ISO/DIS 17364), transport units (ISO/DIS 17365), and product packaging (ISO/DIS 17366), product tagging (ISO/DIS 17367).

In addition, ISO has published with the International Electrotechnical Commission a standard for identification cards (ISO/IEC 14443-2) and one for item management (ISO/IEC 15961), and other RFID standards continue to be developed.

So pets seem to use 11784.
Most probable targets are contactless identification/access cards (office, public transport, ....). But please try everything and report your findings here!!

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

The good news is that Calypso seems to use 14443B. This is for transport passes (many of them in France, for example NAVIGO in Paris).

So I guess French Tag owners you will have easy access to them (if they work; I'd love someone to send me one)

The map on the referred page shows sites where yo could find these cards.

And UK residents are also lucky

UK Passport - In March 2006 the UK launched the country's new biometric pass-
port. This new passport contains a ISO 14443B contactless RFID chip

Good Luck!

Define lucky. Those passports will usher in 1984 faster than you can say 'George Orwell'!

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

<OFFTOPIC begin>
"Lucky" meant "easy access to an RFID label for the bunny" and not "easily controlled by their government/secret agencies". If you are interested in the privacy/politics of RFID passports (and RFID in general), and things like how easy/difficult  is to clone/disable them, a good starting point is Bruche Schneier's Blog
<OFFTOPIC end>
Political aspects aside, if anyone in UK has an RFID passport, then please install opennab and my plugin and post here the test results. Did the light change from white?. If it works, then I may start working further on the subject.

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

The recent bc.jsp (version 65806) has the string "/vl/rfid.jsp?sn=" inside.
So probably support is already in place and my plugin s not needed. Could you test, please?

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

Sadly biometrics will only be issued as first passport from now, not a renewel ;( so it needs to be someone getting their first passport now.

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

Hi,

I don't have my ADSL connection since I move from Paris to Montpellier (france), but I've kept my Navigo card I have when I was in Paris... So as soon as I have Internet at home, I'll try the card with my rabbit...

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

Pixel du Rezo, you can test with the current development trunk on Sourceforge.
I added an option to get logs on rfid.jsp calls. This is available in OpenNab standalone mode.

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

I know I could test with the standalone mode, but my server is crashed, so I need to re-install it first, and I need Internet for the installation, because I don't have the 16 CDs of the debian installation wink
But it's already half-installed : I just need to put apache + mysql + PHP, and then opennab.

I hope I could post my result this evening, or tomorrow morning...

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

My first tries with my Navigo card (card used in Paris for transports) shows nothing.
I have no call to rfid.jsp ... but I'll give another try this evening.

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

Hello,

I finally received several type ISO 14443 working on 13,56mhz RFID tags from local producer (took two damn weeks smile). It seems that its working perfectly with both my nabs! When I place tag about 1cm away from the nose my nabs make this sniffing sound and then they call rfid.jsp from my server with id of the tag. Now I just have to start working on some applications with these things...

Cheers,
Rallu

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

Great!! Can you please tell us what happens if you show two tags simultaneously? The RFID chip has the ability to read them both, but I don't know if the bunny's software handles it.

Sache, the bunny trying to know himself better

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

Hmm. When I place two RFID tags near his face it doesn't do anything. No sniffing sound, no calls, nothing. Also I noticed that if you keep one tag close to reader it continiously reads tag, but every second or even more of those calls are 0 instead of correct one.

And it seems that reader is about 1cm below Nab's nose. Thats were it reads it better.

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

has anybody found a source of RFID tags yet? I have just had a couple of ISO14443A tags and my bunny does not 'smell' those! E

Re: Any volunteers for RFID testing?

UK PASSPORTS... Hmmm, either my bunny lacks a sense of smell or they are not 14443B RFID tags! No sniffing here with my new passport
