PiicoDev RFID Module | Guide for Raspberry Pi Pico

In this tutorial, we'll get started with using a PiicoDev® RFID module by making some starter projects. Once we're done, you'll be able to read the simple ID off a tag, and read or write data to the tag. Depending on the tag type, we can turn the tag into an interactive RFID tag which triggers certain readers (like smartphones) to execute actions such as opening webpages, showing a specific location on a map, and loads more!

Very well made! Amazing video!
One question: Can I achieve the same results using a standard/common RFID and those libraries that you used in your video?

Super well made video. Thank you for the help and bomb resource

Hello how compatilble this expansion/RFID, if I wish to do this same project but using Wiznet pico with eithernet?

How easy is it to use these without Python and the provided library? I assume since you can connect them on a bus they're basically wrapping i2c around the RFID chips driver so if I use C and i2c I can control the RFID chip easily?

Very cool and informative video! I am trying to troubleshoot my setup. Can I ask you a question here or elsewhere? Thank you.

Is it possible to give it a longer reading range?

Hypothetical question. Could one make a handheld device making use of this, which could be used to 'fake' being an ntag213 card/fob/whatever?
The theory is to replicate the sort of card locks hotels might have, which in my experience are programmed (room number, public gate, etc) with a
series of cards (these are specifically t5577 125k(?)hz cards if memory serves), but able to be programmed with a simple handheld device instead
of either batch programming the cards for a floor ahead of time and doing them in one go or reusing the same card in between each room/door.
