Module and breakout ready for use on a breadboard
The completed breakout can be used like the larger base station. Here’s
the same example as above with a green LED and 330 ohm resistor added
to the READ pin.

Resources and Going Further
You can use the SparkFun RFID Reader Kit and an Arduino to control
access to just about anything!
• Instead of moving a servo, how about controlling a relay like the
PowerSwitch Tail II. No intruder will ever use your soldering iron,
toaster, or electric blanket without permission again!
• Rob’s NCWP (Non-Crappy Wedding Present) Tutorial – An RFID
reader (plus the rest of Rob’s parts list) could be all that’s separating
you from true love.
