Hello all,
My passport is somewhere inside my apartment but for the life of I can't
remember where. I have looked at all the obvious places and I could not
find it.
Now, this is a new "biometric" passport with the RFID chip inside.
So I'm looking for a simple and most of all cheap circuit that could
activate the RFID chip and so tell where (roughly) that little bugger is
hiding.
At least that would narrow down the area to search for, especially if
the detection cone is not too wide.
I don't actually want to read its serial number nor any data inside,
just want to have a circuit that tells me "hey, there's a RFID chip in
the vicinity".
Then I go look for it and if it's not the passport, well, I look
somewhere else.
Do you know of anything that could do this?
Maybe something that plugs to a PC under windows or linux?
I have had a look at dedicated RFID readers but on top of being very
expensive, they seem to have a reading range of only a few centimeters
which is a bit too little for the kind of search I'm looking at.
Many thanks for your help.
Olivier
