;open the rfid
$oPhidget.Open(56734)
sleep(1000)
    ;check to make sure the rfid kit is attached to the system.
If NOT $oPhidget.IsAttached Then
    ;if the interface kit is not attached then display a message box and exit
    MsgBOx(0, "Error", "The Phidget Interface Kit is not Attached!  Please attach it and try again!")
    Exit
Else
;check to make sure the rfid kit is attached to the system.
MsgBox(0, "Test", "Device Type " & $oPhidget.DeviceType() _
& @CRLF & "Serial Number "& $oPhidget.serialnumber _
& @CRLF & "Output num. "& $oPhidget.OutputCount)
EndIf

; I get all the requested information from phidget

sleep(1000)
$oPhidget.OutputState(0) = True; turns On the 5V lead
sleep(1000)

    and $oPhidget.OutputState(0) = False _
    Then
MsgBOx(0, "Error", "No Led on")

I made a new script for the LcdText module and it work fine, i share it;

;create the phidget object
$oPhidget = ObjCreate("phidget21COM.PhidgetTextLCD")

;open the Phidget system
$oPhidget.Open()
sleep(1000)

    ;check to make sure the Text Lcd is attached to the system.
If NOT $oPhidget.IsAttached Then
    ;if the Text Lcd is not attached then display a message box and exit
    MsgBOx(0, "Error", "The Phidget Text Lcd is not Attached!  Please attach it and try again!")
    Exit
Else
    
;get Hw info from the attached system.
MsgBox(0, "Test", "Device Type " & $oPhidget.DeviceType() _
& @CRLF & "Serial Number "& $oPhidget.serialnumber _
& @CRLF & "Row num. "& $oPhidget.RowCount)
endif

;Set Contrast
$oPhidget.Contrast = "120"
$ContrastVal= $oPhidget.Contrast
 MsgBOx(0, "More info", "Contrast Value: " & $ContrastVal)
 
 ;Set BackLight
$oPhidget.BackLight = "True"
$BackLightVal= $oPhidget.BackLight
 MsgBOx(0, "More info", "BackLight Value: " & $BackLightVal)
 
;Write on line 1 and 2
$oPhidget.DisplayString(0)="Write on line 1"
$oPhidget.DisplayString(1)="Write on line 2"

;clear after 3 sec. line 1 and 2
sleep(3000)
$oPhidget.DisplayString(0)=""

There is something amiss in your syntax. .AntennaOn is a "[get/set]" property, meaning you can read the state or set it. At one point you do "$oPhidget.AntennaOn = True" to set the state, but then you later do "if $oPhidget.AntennaOn = False Then" to check the state. I believe that second should read "if ($oPhidget.AntennaOn) = False Then" so that the "= False" does not perform the operation to turn the antenna off.

:P

P.S. You said: "...the example script give me some errors and doesn't work." You went on to describe what didn't work, but never posted the errors. If this is not solved, post the errors.
