Which is the configuration tool for Raspberry Pi?
raspi-config is the Raspberry Pi configuration tool originally written by Alex Bradbury. It targets Raspberry Pi OS. Usage. You will be shown raspi-config on first booting into Raspberry Pi OS. To open the configuration tool after this, simply run the following from the command line: sudo raspi-config

What kind of transistor does Raspberry Pi use?
The second circuit is with a solenoid as an actuator. This is the circuit you want to implement the design as a door lock or a doggy door. The TIP120 is a Darlington Array power transistor. This simply allows the Raspberry Pi to control the solenoid, which requires more power than the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO can output.
What kind of RFID reader do I Need?
I got the FM-503 860MHZ UHF RFID reader from China. The most attractive part about this module to me is that it can trigger from long distances — it all depends upon the antenna of this module. The FM-503 is basically an 860-960MHz UHF RFID reader on a development kit board.

Is the Cottonwood RFID device compatible with Raspberry Pi?
Having said that, you may want to take a look at the thread, Raspberry RFID UHF, which seems to mention the Cottonwood device, although it repeats the fact that the device works on Windows, but not on the Pi – probably due to the lack of a driver.
How does the solenoid work on a Raspberry Pi?
This simply allows the Raspberry Pi to control the solenoid, which requires more power than the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO can output. Figure 1: Circuit Schematic w/ LED Figure 2: Circuit Schematic w/ Solenoid The RC522 RFID module uses SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface Bus) to interface to the Raspberry Pi.
How to install the rc522 module on a Raspberry Pi?
The SPI PY library is used interface with the RC522 module. I clone the library by typing the command git clone https://github.com/lthiery/SPI-Py.git. The library then needs to be installed. First, enter the SPI-Py directory by typing cd SPI-Py.
