It uses "The World's Smallest Web Server" and some code that leverages the OpenCV Library.
WARNING: The video is LAME. It's low and slow. I show I build, configure, setup, and run the programs.
The following video shows how I used my Raspberry Pi ($35 Mini-computer) to read in data from RFID "Tags"
#Background =========== So I've always have nerded it up, but now I finally get to merge projects. Thus, I am presenting a Parallax RFID Reader (spec sheet for you fellow engineers) using a RasPi running Arch Linux. I assume you all know this, but in case you were under a rock: The RasPi has the GPIO set of pins on the board. These can be leveraged for all sorts of projects. In my case I noticed the UART Tx and Rx. Serial Port Transmit and Receive, so to speak...
I picked up the reader on clearance at a local Radio Shack for $10. I've been playing with it on my linux machines, via a 2" Rs232 adapter, but I decided tonight to plug it straight into the RasPi. However, as we linux users know it takes a bit more than plugging it in and playing...
#Setup ====== The Project needed a few things: 1) A Linux Distro 2) The Parallax Reader + wiring 3) Programs to capture and view the RFID Reader

I simply opened it open and showed a few mechanics of the RFID reader. (I.E. The tag in the bottom of the figurine must be parallel to the antenna, and the lack of interaction with miscellaneous RFID cards)
Please note that this video is simply for those of you wondering about the hardware internals.
