PR8-B is an open source microcontroller Do It Yourself kit. This PIC microcontroller based project uses PIC16F876A to interface with RFID-IDR-232 and 16x2 LCD. It shows the method to modify commercial RDIF reader to interface with microcontroller through UART. It can further be modified to become security system. This project is aimed to assist hobbyist and students to pick up embedded system application and development. Have fun with RFID!

• RFID reader and Tag
• Industrial Grade PCB with proper labeling
• ICSP socket to ease the loading program
• Open Source DIY kit (schematic, source code and explanation)
• Simple, fast and reliable learning tools

* DIY project set is not fully assembled upon purchase. User need to assemble the components and solder to make it function. 
** PIC Microcontroller of DIY project is pre-loaded with respective example code starting from February 2013.
