*The results are in hebrew and I censored only the city & owner's phone No.

What

An Animal RFID scanner that shows you instantly the owner's phone number (and a few other details) for lost dogs.

Howto

I advise you to read the writeup so you'll understand how to set up the environment. You will also need to:

• Clone this repo

git clone git@github.com:noypearl/RaspberryPaws.git

• Install the following libraries in RPi to use OLED 0.91"

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Connect an OLED 0.91" (or similar and modify scanner.py script) to RPi. Remember to enable i2c communication in raspi-config
• Run the python scanner script

python scanner.py

The RPi screen will show something like this:

• Pair animal chip RFID scanner with RPi via Bluetooth

• Scan an animal RFID chip
  

And that's it!

You can connect the RPi to a power bank so you can walk around with it. So you can start and scan!
