Hi Jace I don't know this component, but I saw this tutorial for the arduino and your component which might be useful (sometimes I find comparing the arduino and netduino implementations useful when I hit a problem). http://bildr.org/2011/02/rfid-arduino/ The first thing that jumped out at me was that your pins are connected similarly to the arduino except for one - you mention that you have Pin 2 connected to netduino 5V, but the arduino has Pin 2 connected to netduino Pin 13. EDIT: I guess you have configured the pins that way to make sure you do just one read so my observation might not help you too much But I hope this is something to look into anyway! Cheers, Jeremy

Hi there CoolComponents is the supplier I use - I've found they're very quick to deliver any time I've used them. Are these the components you mean? http://www.coolcompo...products_id=348 http://www.coolcompo...products_id=347 I hope this helps - they're probably best if you're based in Europe, if you're somewhere else I'm sure another person on the forum can recommend a supplier Cheers, Jeremy

Hi - is this kind of what you're looking for? http://forums.netdui...8-bitconverter/ I hope this helps - Jeremy

Hey Baxter - thanks for those links. That PCB in a box looks like exactly what I need to start off at home. Now I just need to improve my soldering and I can build some nice shields... Thanks again Jeremy

Hey everyone Does anyone have any advice or recommendations on how to get started with some PCB manufacture at home? I'm looking for kit that's pretty small scale, the sort of thing you can do in an apartment on a table. If any of you can recommend a good and reasonably priced product, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance, Jeremy

Nice! I wish I had seen your post before buying some of these components separately...oh well
