Fantastic! I appreciate the heads-up. The open source ThingMagic drivers would be very handy.
It has crossed my mind to try integrating a single-chip reader but I'm unsure of what the FCC requirements would be for selling it as part of a commercial product. It's a little surprising that there hasn't been a kickstarter type of project to build an open source reader chip and get it FCC spec'ed.
- beambot 11y agoThe AMS chip itself is probably FCC compliant, since the output power is so low (10-13dBM, IIRC). The problem arises when you add an external PA to get the full 30dBm output power permitted by the FCC; then you need to re-certify.
