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.

sudo reboot


Testing
  • 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)
