Hello

I want to make an installation with processing and Rfid detection. I know tht this is possible with a pretty reasonably priced reader in the ID-series (ID-12, ID-20) from Mannings Rfid, but I wonder if anybody has managed to get the USB readers called Phidgets integrated in Processing?

As I understand it the most common is to use Phidgets with Flash, and I rather not do that.. In my opinion Processing is much more contollable and reliable.

I found a post by "jingman" in the Processing Alpha discourse, but could not continue the topic in there. Jingman wrote:

"My employer purchased the Phidget Starter Kit ( http://tinyurl.com/43hcc ) and I will say that it absolutely does not disappoint.  We've already hooked it up to flash and processing, and the possibilities appear pretty much endless at this point (right now we have a webcam mounted to a servo, and an eyeball in flash that looks at your mouse, and moves the webcam around).

We're going to use Phidgets in conjunction with processing and sonia to demonstrate engineering concepts at an upcoming eng. summer camp.

Thanks so much to everyone who contributes to all of these technologies and softwares.

This is exactly what I want to do. If Jingman or anybody out there has experience with Phidgets, Processing and what libraries or drivers to use, please reply (and I'm gonna use Sonia as well, but I think I'll handle that).

Thanks a lot in advance
