I'm looking for a simple and cheap microcontroller to read serial output from an RFID reader and determine whether or not the tag scanned is "authorized" or not. It doesn't need much memory, just enough for a very basic program and some 10 digit numbers.
I've already done this with my Arduino, but that's definitely overkill for such a simple job. I'm trying to get this project working as cheaply as possible (mostly for the challenge, not to save money).
Can someone provide me with information about a microcontroller that would be a good fit for this project? I looked into the ATtiny13.. would this be a good chip for the job? Also, how would one go about loading programs onto one of these?
Thanks in advance,
Trey
