# Raspberry Pi 5 RFID Integration: A Personal Journey in IoT Development ## My Experience with Raspberry Pi 5 and RFID Technology When I first started working with **Raspberry Pi 5 RFID** systems, I discovered a natural aptitude for hardware integration that surprised even me. My background was primarily in software, but something about connecting physical components to the Raspberry Pi 5's powerful BCM2712 processor clicked immediately. I remember my first successful project—a door access system using MFRC522 RFID modules—where I managed to reduce authentication latency by 40% through optimized SPI communication protocols. ### Technical Specifications for Raspberry Pi 5 RFID Integration For those considering **Raspberry Pi 5 RFID** implementations, here are detailed technical parameters: **RFID Module Specifications (MFRC522 Alternative):** - Operating Frequency: 13.56 MHz - Communication Interface: SPI (up to 10 Mbps), I2C (400 kHz), UART - Supported Protocols: ISO/IEC 14443 A/MIFARE, ISO/IEC 14443 B - Operating Voltage: 2.5V - 3.3V (compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 GPIO) - Current Consumption: 13-26mA (operating), <10μA (sleep mode) - Read Range: Up to 50mm (depending on antenna design) - Dimensions: 40mm × 60mm × 5mm standard module - Chip Code: NXP MFRC522 (or compatible PN532 for NFC functionality) **Raspberry Pi 5 Hardware Specifications:** - Processor: Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Cortex-A76 - Memory: 4GB/8GB LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM - GPIO: 40-pin header with 27 programmable GPIOs - Connectivity: 2 × USB 3.0, 2 × USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe 2.0 interface - Power Requirements: 5V/5A via USB-C (minimum for full performance) *Note: These technical parameters are reference data.

The **Raspberry Pi 5 RFID** system managed 15 simultaneous stations with zero lag, thanks to the improved processing power over previous models. We even created a scavenger hunt game where RFID tags hidden throughout the exhibit unlocked digital rewards. ### TIANJUN RFID Solutions for Raspberry Pi 5 For reliable **Raspberry Pi 5 RFID** integration, I recommend TIANJUN's specialized products.
