O'Reilly Media Getting Started with RFID: Identifying Things with Arduino and Processing
Just as we identify things using information from our senses, so do computers. They can identify physical objects only by using information from their sensors. One of the best-known digital identification techniques is radio frequency identification, or RFID. The RFID tag pasted on the side of a book may seem like a universal marker, but what it means depends on who reads it. Based on the projects from the first edition of Making Things Talk (from the same author), this book shows you how to create projects with Arduino, Processing, and the Getting Started with RFID kit from Maker SHED to identify physical objects.

O'Reilly Media Making Things Talk: Using Sensors, Networks, and Arduino to See, Hear, and Feel Your World
The workbenches of hobbyists, hackers, and makers have become overrun with microcontrollers, computers-on-a-chip that power homebrewed video games, robots, toys, and more. In Making Things Talk, Tom Igoe, one of the creators of Arduino, shows how to make these gadgets talk. Whether you need to connect some sensors to the Internet or create a device that can interact wirelessly with other creations, this book shows you what you need. Although they are powerful, the projects in this book are inexpensive to build: the Arduino microcontroller board itself ranges from around $25 to $40. The networking hardware covered here includes Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and can be had for $25 to $50. Fully updated for the latest Arduino hardware and software, this book lets you combine microcontrollers, sensors, and networking hardware to make things... and make them talk to each other!
