Noobie question about programming an RFID project

Hi there,
I'm looking at an RFID project with two aspects to it.
The first is reading the RFID tag. These are not Progammable tags and so have a very cryptic string that is returned from the reader.

What I would like to be able to do is 1) read a tag and get that cryptic code from the TAG ID. I would like to be able to compare that tag ID with a group of registered TAGs and once found, present the TAG in a more familiar fashion ie Coin or TAG 1, TAG 2, TAG 3 etc on an LCD screen. Eventually I'd like t o make this wireless ie between the reader and the LCD display.

A variation on this would be to use, not an LCD screen but rather a pager vibrator motor that would pulse in a simple pattern that would alert the individual to the detection of the cryptic tag. Maybe something as simple as "1 TAG buzz for card 1, 2 TAG buzz's for TAG 2 etc".

Anyone know if this sort of thing (or a variation of it) has been done and written up on the net somewhere?

Thanks folks,
Doug

Certainly looks like it - arduino+rfid+lcd - Google Search

Hi,

I have recently used one of the £15 rfid readers from eBay for a simple project, if you let me know your email address I will send you my sketch as it may help you (alan@alanesq.com) - my sketch does basically what you are wanting to do

i.e. like this one - http://tinyurl.com/cr5chzj
