Does anyone have any eperience using RealBASIC (for windows but Mac or Linux may be helpful too!) programming to us ethe PhidgetsRFID reader?

I have managed to write an application that attaches and extracts data from the reader, but can't seem to read a Tag!

The sample VB appas work fine so I have elimanted hardware as an issue.

Thanks in advance!

I didn't even know the Phidget RFID reader could be used in RealBASIC, haha!

It's been a looong time since I used it, so I may not be that helpful, but what seems to be the problem? Source code would definitely be helpful:)

It seems that you are close. First verify that you can control the two digital outputs, and the onboard LED, and you are catching the Attach/Detach events. (to check your event handling) Then, be sure to set the .RF (might be .Antenna) property to true to enable reading Tags.
