PIC's & RFID's
Having another "play" with the PIC System.
Just added an RFID card reader module to it. This comes with a selection of cards to experiment with,
Been writing a simple card entry door lock system.
At the moment it will activate a relay if one specific card is inserted, and turn on the alarm with any other.
The cards all have a unique ID programmed into them. The current system is simple and uses only the first byte of the UID. Using the full one will make it more secure but needs a lot more program code.

Thoughts
Having a long weekend this one
Today , went and got measured up for new specs. One pair for seeing and one for reading/pc work etc.
Tomorrow is the Leicester Radio Rally, though its not been in Leicester for many years. The last 10 its been at the exhibition centre at Donnington race track. Now thanks to Bernie E, its had to move since the centre was demolished.
Now at Loughborough University. Lets see what goodies I can find there.
Final thought for the day.
1 in 10 people understand binary, the other one doesn't

Website
Really must get on and update the website.
Got a few ideas to add to it now.
Watch this space !!
Kaspersky 2010
The new version of Kaspersky has been released.
Good thing with their software, no matter how many new versions are released, you get a free update if your current licence is still active.
Works well, had another update on the GUI as well.
Running under windows 7 on the laptop and XP Pro on the desktop. Will try it on the 2nd hard disk on the desktop running windows 7 soon.

Fedora 11
Had a few problems getting it to install
Had to remove the SATA interface card, then V 10 would install
V 10 let me install V11 as an upgrade.
Got there in the end.
Internet & Network configured
