Development Kits

Development kits in general are an extremly helpful tool for all kind of engineers to start with a new technology. These kits provide all the hardware and software components needed to get started, including: RFID modules, sample tags, antenna, device drivers, API libraries, demo software all kind of documeantion and more.

An important component of a developemnt kit are the software tools normally included. An API library is obvious in most of the kits, but for practice purposes a toll for configuration, test and training with the RFID device is more important.

In the following we will present to you screenshots of two different development kits:
