Guidance regarding rifd sensors

[luxarvit]

Hello, Arduino Community!

I'm making a project that consists on creating an RFID-based poker game board and am looking for some insights and advice on compatibility and functionality.

To develop a poker game board where individual poker cards are tagged with RFID chips. The cards will be placed on top of the board, which has an embedded RFID reader underneath. The board will use a thin, non-metallic material to allow the RFID reader to detect the tags on the cards.

Components I am considering to use:

• Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 Microcontroller board with Pre-Soldered Header 14 euro (with this we can avoid the shifters, because this controls over 26 digital pins. This because later on, we will use vibration motors, but right now we want to only focus on making the RIFD work with the tagged cards. so we were wondering if it is enough with this microcontroller?)

• RIFD tags

• 2 RIFD UHF sensors

The Rifd will detect the tags of each card, and this will output for the user a vibration, we are thinkiing of using vibration motors, but first we only want to focus on the first part, verifying that we are going to buy the right items.

Thank you so much for your time and effort to reply. Means a lot.

Normally people recommend the rc522 rfid sensor (what you are referring to in the link) but i have a really bad experience with these sensors they only work with the provide rfid tag and the card nothing else, and the other thing is if you are going with these sensors then buy them from a trusted place (because I brought 10 of these and only 1 worked) so make sure to buy from a trusted source.

thank you for your advice!
