RFID RC-522 Card Reader Set with Transponder

This RFID set is suitable for first attempts with RFID and Arduino or Raspberry Pi, for example for access control. Control uses the SPI interface, for which the MFRC522 Arduino library is available. The pin headers are not soldered on. The set includes an S50 card and an S50 key fob; further transponders are available individually.
