Re: Multiple RFID tags in one block

Torgrim,
It's a lot cheaper to have a tag on both ends of a piece of rolling stock to determine direction than it is to have duplicate readers everywhere. And only where direction actually matters, which is probably a relatively small percentage.
Wouter?

Is there a way to handle more than one RFID tag in a block?
If I had RFID tags on all units, and RFID readers on all block borders, I would have a train of tags moving around.
A double reader could indicate the direction of travel. On my 1:8 scale garden railroad this is quite feasible.?
A Cbus node with an arduino nano and 2 cheap readers on every block border could do the job.

A tag should be in only 1 block - when a it enters a block it should be removed from any previous block.
Block occupancy is based on at least 1 tag in the block, to be shown on the panel.

But how can I do this in JMRI?
