I think this stuff is going to consume me for a while...yay for thesis work! More specs on the whole RFID thing have led me to believe that I need to construct a passive read/write tag that operates within the 13.56 Mhz range and that it should most likely be constructed using FRAM instead of EEPROM. FRAM is more expensive but uses less power. This is important for any embedded device. I am still not sure if the 125 khz devices are going to be of use, as their read range is generally 6 inches. I need a little more give in that so bumping it up to a higher frequency shouldn't matter too much (hopefully). If you are wondering where I got all this techno mumbo jumbo, you can download the pdf that I got from a very informative company called Microchip. Here is the link to the PDF that explains a lot of the basics in the introduction. I followed along fairly closely, so its pretty straightforward. Some tech expierence might be nice to decipher it though. Also updated some links on the Medical Binge post (terrible name I know).
