I didn't even think about it when I wrote the title but you are correct. The kit only allows reading.

Hey, the title of this is RFID reader/writer…but how did you write to the rfid tags if the phidgets RFID kit doesn't support writing?

Thanks.

This kit is pretty cool to get started. I used it in a project to identify users, display the username to a LCD, trigger sound, add the info to a database for later use. One problem with the reader is that it requires pretty close proximity and there is no good mounting solution or nice box for this. It would be cool if someone built this into a small box.

Oh.. also found that the led's were a bit weir when you hooked them up to the circuit board, could have been the software (drivers for mac) since i did it all in objective-c.
