Raspberry Pi with Arduino Uno

Objective 

Test that the Raspberry Pi is able to interface with Arduino Uno

Proof of Concept 

The Raspberry Pi is interfaced with the Arduino Uno Serially through USB ports. Then the RFID Reader is interfaced with the Arduino Uno meaning each pin of the reader is connected to each pin of the Arduino. Once the RFID Reader is interfaced with the Arduino Uno the Arduino is controlling the RFID Reader through the program uploaded to the Arduino.

Pass criteria: Multiple Tags detected
Fail criteria: No tags detected

Methods

Need to ensure that the Raspberry Pi is able to interface with Arduino Uno. The Raspberry Pi is interfaced with the Arduino Uno Serially through USB ports. Then the RFID Reader is interfaced with the Arduino Uno meaning each pin of the reader is connected to each pin of the Arduino. Once the RFID Reader is interfaced with the Arduino Uno the Arduino is controlling the RFID Reader through the program uploaded to the Arduino. The RFID Reader code is set to get the RSSI which stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator for this tag read, the frequency (Hz) at which the tag was detected at, the time this was read in (milli-seconds) since last keep-alive message, and the number of bytes of EPC which stands for Electronic Product Code from response.

Results 

The program is reading multiple RFID Tags simultaneously. The RFID READER code is set to get the RSSI which stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator for this tag read, the frequency (Hz) at which the tag was detected at, the time this was read in (milli-seconds) since last keep-alive message, and the number of bytes of EPC which stands for Electronic Product Code from response.
