    Hi GrahamCD, yes I am interested in pursuing this topic and am actually just a few hours into implementing something similar. I'm actually not so much interested in identifying my locos, but in tagging all of my cars to generate switch lists for operations and the like.
    I successfully attached a 13.56 MHz RFID-Reader to an Arduino (UNO as well as a Nano) together with a 16 by 2 character display and can present the UID of the RFID Tags under my test cars on that display. So I do have the UID in a variable by now.
    However, I have currently no idea how to send the content of this variable to JMRI (e.g. using C/MRI). I also read in the C/MRI specs on the NMRA website, that the Tag ID (four hex values, that could be transferred as an 8 character string) should easily fit into a C/MRI packet, so it's hopefully only passing this over to JMRI and have that value represented as a reporter message in JMRI.
    I'm also not the programming type. I can adapt sketches with a lot of trial and error, but I'm no developer.
    I hope to find more info and perhaps an implementation on the topic here on TB or elsewhere on the web.
    Cheers Mirco

    I would really like to know what you learned. It’s been several years and it’s still very hard to find information and what is out there is several years old.
