Interfacing UHF M6E Nano RFID kit with Raspberry Pi?

Sensors NFC & RFID
1

Hello,

I want to interface Sparkfun simultaneous RFID module (M6E Nano) with Raspberrypi board (pi3 B+ or pi4). Also I want to use external antenna and power supply. My question is

  1. What would the physicall connections be between the RFID kit and pi?

  2. What modifications I need to do in SparkFun UHF Reader API?

  3. Is there any API available C/C++ or Python in which I could control the RID kit with the PI board?

Thanks

You'd probably want to use a FTDI like the our [[DEV-09716](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9716), but you're going to need some sort of external power in addition to the FTDI. Another option would be to connect an Arduino Uno to the M6E Nano and have that talk to the M6E and just pass data onto your Pi for processing.

There are none supported by SparkFun and we are not aware of how to modify the existing API for use on the Pi. It might be possible but sadly we can't support it.](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9716)
