Arduino + Lots of RFID Readers
May 05, 2011, 02:58 am
I am trying to implement more then 4 RFID readers While using a ATmega2560 and from what i understand you have to have a single serial port dedicated to each RFID reader now my question is how would i go about creating a system that would be able to use more then 4 ....
My first thought it useing a multiplexer IE 8:1... 16:1 and just running it to a single serial port but i am not sure what that would take...
-Any IDEAs?

If you need a seriel port for each, why not just use the ones that are on the 2560 then?
It should have a total of 4 (if my half hangover head makes sense of what it's eyes see)

How far apart are the four readers from each other ?
Are the readers intelligent , i.e. have code running on them that can be modified ?
If you would have posted this information first, a better answer would have been made sooner.
Good luck
