    Hey, I'm looking into doing a project over the summer that uses an RFID module to turn the overhead lights in my room on and off. I have been thinking about it, and it seems like it would be easiest to use a Parallax RFID module, a BASIC Stamp controller, and a relay. It would be even simpler if this were to exist, but I doubt it does: an RFID with a built it relay that atuates the relay when the RFID is triggered.

    So back to my original idea: if I hook up an RFID module to a BASIC stamp, and then to a relay, what kind of relay would I need to get? Could I power my BASIC Stamp and my RFID off of the same power source? The RFID requires 5VDC and the BASIC Stamp requires 6-9 VDC, so I'm thinking it would't work. Also - what weould power the relay? Would the battery connected to the BASIC Stamp be able to actuate the relay?

    Thanks! Jacy😁

    Both RFID and BASIC stamp can be powered through same power souce as for relay how voltage you are going to apply at NO and NC connections???
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
