Read Range

[JGAMDEV]

Hello, I love this project, very nicely done.
I'm trying to recreate, and maximuse the read range. What sort of distances were you able to get with your coil? I'm planning on trying different coil sizes (and tuning appropriately of course).

I was able to read an RFID tag from about 10mm with my homemade antenna coil. My coil was about 65mm in diameter, had an unknown number of turns.
A couple important things to be aware of is that the range depends on the position and orientation of the RFID tag relative to the antenna coil.

Here are a couple images with more details.

I'd be interested to see the results of your experiments. I expect that the range can be improved.
