Can I read FDX-B RFID using Android smartphone?

My pet have ISO 11784/5 FDX-B tag and theoretically, it's an RFID tag, but can I read this tag using my Android smartphone? Which properties shoud I use in my custome app to read this tag?

Solution

  • NFC (13,56 Mhz) is a subset of RFID and the FDX-B uses 134,2 kHz, so those are not compatible.

    But there are cheap 125 kHz RFID readers available (around 12€), which can read the tag. Here is a tutorial, that shows how you could connect it to an Arduino: https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-and-RFID-from-seeedstudio/
