[osflash] Flash + Arduino - writing hardware drivers for RFID reader

[development at wichers.nu]

Hi Alias,

By 'hardware' driver you mean accessing you're proxy, which has the actual
hardware driver to your serial port right?

I've done a same sort of implementation for controlling an rca car through
flash. But I've used an usb microchip for this and a small http
(c++/boost/asio) socket proxy. The response to the car is awesome and I
believe it's faster than serial communication. You should try microchip!

Mixing hardware & software like that is cool indeed, nice stuff!

Yours, Sander

reader

HI guys,

A couple of people asked me whether I'd be posting videos of a workshop I
did a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd post it to the list.

Basically, it's a hardware driver written in AS3, which controls an RFID
reader via and Arduino board, which can read standard London Underground
OysterT cards.

Check it out here:

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the list.

Cheers,
Alias



I've done a blog post with a video of my presentation at the workshop,
