I've done some research and found out about XBees. Can I use this with RFID readers? I am planning to use RC522 RFID reader as its the cheapest option for me at the moment.

I am open to any advice or suggestion for other methods to achieve my objective. Thanks!

  • Please try and improve your question, else it is likely to get closed for being too broad or unclear. What are you actually trying to do? How/why do you think XBees are related to RFID readers? – Mark Setchell Feb 02 '18 at 07:59
  • What I'm trying to do is send the data from the reader to the Raspberry Pi wirelessly since both will be apart for quite a distance. Xbees can transmit data from a device to another, wirelessly based from what I learned. – Ian Cortez Feb 03 '18 at 07:02
  • Given that your question is more about hardware interoperability, and that StackOverflow is more about programming, I think you'd be better off asking on raspberrypi.stackexchange.com and also get a better answer there. – Mark Setchell Feb 03 '18 at 12:30
  • I see. Thanks for the tip – Ian Cortez Feb 04 '18 at 13:05

You can use an XBee with any device that has a TTL level serial interface. The simplest configuration of paired XBee modules act as a serial cable replacement. Bytes going in on one XBee serial port come out on the other's and vice versa.
