Code Examples
### Example 1: Reading an RFID Tag using Arduino
In this example, we will demonstrate how to use the RFID Card R-W component with an Arduino Uno board to read an RFID tag.
```c
#include <RFID.h>
#define RFID_RST_PIN 9
#define RFID_SS_PIN 10
RFID rfid(RFID_SS_PIN, RFID_RST_PIN);
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  rfid.init();
}
void loop() {
  if (rfid.isCard()) {
    String tagID = rfid.readCardSerial();
    Serial.print("Tag ID: ");
    Serial.println(tagID);
    delay(1000);
  }
}
```
In this example, we include the `RFID` library and define the reset and slave select pins for the RFID component. In the `setup()` function, we initialize the RFID component and set up the serial communication. In the `loop()` function, we check if a tag is present and read its serial number using the `readCardSerial()` function. The tag ID is then printed to the serial console.
### Example 2: Writing Data to an RFID Tag using Python and Raspberry Pi
In this example, we will demonstrate how to use the RFID Card R-W component with a Raspberry Pi board to write data to an RFID tag.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from mfrc522 import SimpleMFRC522
reader = SimpleMFRC522()
def write_data(tag_id, data):
    reader.write(tag_id, data)
try:
    while True:
        id, text = reader.read()
        print("Tag ID: " + str(id))
        print("Current data: " + text)
        new_data = input("Enter new data to write: ")
        write_data(id, new_data)
        print("Data written successfully!")
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```
In this example, we use the `SimpleMFRC522` library to interact with the RFID component. We define a function `write_data()` that takes a tag ID and data to be written as parameters. In the main loop, we read the tag ID and current data using the `read()` function. We then prompt the user to enter new data to write, and call the `write_data()` function to write the data to the tag.
