Board TEST

Required Hardware

• Raspberry Pi x 1
• RFID HAT x 1

Enable I2C and Serial Interface

• Open a terminal and run the following commands to enable I2C：

sudo raspi-config

Choose Interfacing Options -> I2C ->yes

• Again run below command to enable Serial

sudo raspi-config

Choose Interfacing Options -> Serial -> No -> Yes

• You can also enable Serial and I2C using Graphical method, Open Menu by clicking on Raspberry Pi icon >> Preferences >> Raspberry Pi Configurations >> Interfaces , and select below option.

• Now reboot your pi by running the below command :

sudo reboot

Testing

• Stack RFID-HAT on GPIO Header of Raspberry Pi.

• To run examples of SB-PI-HAT, clone this repository by executing below command

git clone https://github.com/sbcshop/SB-RFID-HAT.git
cd SB-RFID-HAT

• Now run example code by running the below commands.

python3 rfid.py (Without Oled display, output on terminal/shell)

OR

python3 rfid_with_oled.py ( To show detected tag id on Oled as well as on terminal/shell)
