By day I am an electronic engineer for a certification and approvals company, by night I am an avid technology hobbyist and DIY'er. I enjoy learning how things work, and sharing my learning experiences with others. I enjoy reading projects by other makers and attempting to make my own version.

“Sophisticated” RFID chip readers or barcode readers are shipped with drivers, libraries, or special apps which provide methods for routing the output of the reader to a specific target. If, for example, the information of the RFID tags or barcodes should simply go to a file, this kind of readers provide ways to define the location and format of that file.
