I have just received a parallax rfid reader in usb I thought this is what I needed as my arduino duemilanova is usb. can i get it working?
please any help would be amazing
The Arduino is a USB slave. I'd guess that the parallax rfid reader is, too. Two slaves can't talk to each other. You need a USB master somewhere in the mix.
So, no, it does not appear as though you can use that rfid reader.
They offer a serial model - it's possible that you can hook it up via serial in some way. Would need level shifting though.
