General Guidance in Project

[JMiller184]

Howdy! I am completely new to programming as a whole and would like to know the difficulty involved in a project I volunteered for in school. I would like to use RFID to scan a barcode, and use the data from that specific tag to display information about that specific component.

For example, I would attach a tag to the body of a miniature car, and when the tag is scanned it will display information on a monitor about that component. What would this entail? Has this been done by somebody here before? Any kind of guidance would be appreciated. Thank you

well, part of what you need you can find here: http://product-open-data.com/
you can get the bar codes and product information for many products.

for an rfid reader package, try: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rfidgeek/2.0.0
