Success!
We presented our project titled RFIDr to our peers and professor with great feedback from lots of people. We managed to speed up our basic stamp code, because at the last minute we had problems where our ruby on rails app was reading the basic stamp faster than it was outputing numbers so we were drawing blanks sometimes. Thankfully we got the problem solved. We did have one slight problem however...

Tag Love
We finally found the proper PBasic code to let us compare multiple RFID tags with a list. (http://parallax.com/dl/src/prod/rfid1.bs2). At first we were trying to assign the RFID tag (ex. 04129C1A1C) inside our program code but it wasn’t letting us store the required ten digits in a variable (limited to 16 bits). With this new code we declare our tag ids as data before we run our program...
Flickr hates us now?
The code that we have been using to query flickr is only now starting to give us some problems. Last night while we were testing out the app, we couldn’t load any images because it said that: our API Key had expired. However, when we logged into our flickr api account, it said that our key was still active: Searching on the flickr API forums, people have had this problem before. We...
Making our installation
We have constructed our installation and connected it to the basic stamp. This basic stamp will be connected to the computer. Front view back view of wires going into basic stamp close up of wires: black to ground, red to +5V, greens to pins 0/1 RFID, scanner mounted on ceiling of box, wires connected to it. Thats all!

Flickr Library single images
Right now the flickr library refuses to display single images, the minimum you can show is two. there is a :per_page action that needs a value of between 2 and 500. Leaving out this action, restores it back to its default which is 100. We only need to display one image, so we are looking for coding examples to do this. We may have to change our css so even though it renders two images, the...
