RFID Antennas From Disney Infinity Pad

It is amazing how difficult it can be to give something away these days. I tried to give away some Ender 3 brass and hardened nozzles on Discord and had no takers, the same with silicone socks for the same printer. Maybe people are shy of providing an address?

Anyway, I have two RFID antennas from a Disney Infinity Game Pad. If anyone wants them, shoot me a message and I will drop them in an envelope to the lower 48. I am keeping one, but the chances I ever use even one are slim. These are just antennas and will need a control board, which is currently beyond my knowledge to deal with. You will have to figure out which line of the ribbon cable does what. A known RFID antenna is only a few bucks, but if you can use them for play or project, they are yours.

If this type of post belongs elsewhere or is not allowed, please let me know, and I will delete it forthwith.

Common anode RGB LED. Flip it over and you see, of course, the RFID antenna for the base that picks up the RFID tags in the figurine bases.

I have no use for this, but was just curious what you were hoping to do with these? I ask because I has used Skylanders bases, installed my own innards (Arduino and MFRC522 card reader) and many, if not most of the Skylanders figurines can be read using this setup and an MFRC522 library.

The Disney Infinity Pad is from when my kids were at home. I tore it down to see if there was anything interesting inside. If I ever use one (or more if I cannot find them a home), it would not be game related, but productivity related.
