How do you interface with your cat’s chip? Mine is chipped but it never occurred to me to build a detector.

- donavanm 1y agoYou can get off the shelf doors and feeders. I use “sureflap.” The rfid pellets vary slightly based on locale and age, but probably 125 or 132khz. You can get them off of ebay if you want an easier test case. Handheld cheap scanners are about $20.
- darkwater 1y agoIn my case I bought a pre-built solution by PetSafe that works pretty well. You scan the catś chip once and it recognizes him/her each time they try to enter. It supports up to 10 cats IIRC
- DannyBee 1y ago125khz reader. The real problem is distance most of the time. Cats are curious enough about the doors that they will go right next to them. Most dogs won't.
- Doxin 1y agoLuckily dogs are usually pretty easy to train. My dog will tap the glass on the back door if he wants out. I'm sure I could get him to "present his chip" to a doggie door within a couple of days.
