Seeking a Creative Solution

Sensors NFC & RFID
1

Hey there,

I’m looking for a solution to power the passive LED lights inside a Skylander toy on a handmade wooden display base connected to USB-A and a smart plug. The toy lights up using a 13.56 MHz HF RFID but unfortunately the transmitter (a “portal”) that came with the game requires a data handshake to work.

I am open to ideas, but right now I am looking for a standalone 13.56 MHz Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) module and antenna—specifically a transmitter capable of running on a standard 5V DC input via USB-A .

My goal is strictly continuous wireless power delivery (to power the LEDs without flickering or flashing) not data transmission. I plan to embed the transmitter inside a wooden display base to wirelessly illuminate the passive LEDs inside an HF RFID Skylander toy. Because it is going under wood, I need a solution optimized for a 3mm to 5mm z-axis air gap.

This has been a fun challenge so far! Your company has a great reputation and I appreciate any help and guidance you can provide.

Thank you!

Peregrine

Is there any reason why you’re not considering RFID modules?

Probably because he doesn’t want RFID?

Something like this might work for your project.

I did not find these modules satisfactory.
