Hi, I have a MD-08 and a AY-K12 both from Rosslare, I need to read the code from cards, I al ready read from the serial port and get 25 bits, as I read the wiegand is 26 but the serial get only 26 Any way the missing byte is not relevant but consecutive card dont give me consecutive numbers, so I guess the code have some class of encoding, or the port is not right configured(9600, 8bit data,no parity, and one stop bit) Is simple, maybe is just the configuration or I need to make some math operation
