Joy-it SBC-RFID-CLIP set RFID per Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, Cubieboard, pcDuino

This RFID set stands out by including both a card and a key fob alongside the MFRC522 module, so you can start prototyping access control or identification projects without sourcing tags separately. It works with any single-board computer that exposes SPI and 3.3 V logic, not just Raspberry Pi.

Highlights

• MFRC522 chipset with 13.56 MHz operation
• Reads MIFARE Classic 1K cards and key fobs
• SPI interface with 3.3 V supply
• Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, Cubieboard, pcDuino

In daily use

The module connects over SPI using the included jumper wires. Its integrated PCB antenna gives a read range up to 60 mm depending on tag and environment. The 64-byte FIFO buffer and hardware cryptographic engine for MIFARE Classic keep transactions fast and secure.
