This is a module for MagicMirror² to interact with other modules by RFID-RC522 via python and GPIO.
MFRC522-python is used for python part and wrapped in JavaScript.
In your terminal, go to your MagicMirror's Module folder:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/hebestreit/MMM-RFID.git
To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:
modules: [
{
module: 'MMM-RFID',
config: {
events: {
daniel: [ // data on rfid tag as decimal block will be used as identifier [100, 97, 110, 105, 100, 108, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
{
CURRENT_PROFILE: "daniel" // i.e. "CURRENT_PROFILE" is used for notification identifier and "daniel" for notification payload
}
]
}
}
}
]The following properties can be configured:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
events |
With this property you can define multiple events / notifications which will be dispatched to other module. For this the data block on rfid tag will be used when has been successfully scanned. Possible values: array Default value: [] |
MMM-ProfileSwitcher by Brian Janssen
Basically I've developed this module to switch different profiles using rfid tags by authenticated user. This can be easily done with MMM-ProfileSwitcher.
Please check this documentation to wire your reader.
To write data to tag please run following code as sudo and enter your value. On block sector 8 it's saved as decimal values with a length of 16 which will be converted to ascii later. For example [100, 97, 110, 105, 100, 108, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] will be converted to "daniel". You can check it online here.
Please let me know if you've got a smarter idea!
Careful Stop MagicMirror if MMM-RFID module is running before writing or reading tag via python!
sudo python modules/MMM-RFID/MFRC522-python/Write.py
After you've write successfully your data to rfid tag you can run following command to check it's value.
sudo python modules/MMM-RFID/MFRC522-python/Read.py
