Have you considered a system with PIC1684-based smartcards? Regards, Glenn http://www.zpace.base.org/ ---------- From: Poul Bundgaard[SMTP:p_bundgaard@VIP.CYBERCITY.DK] Sent: den 19 August 1997 8:44 AM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Magnetic card reader. Hello PIClisters. I am in the planning phase of designing a system for vehicle control. The system is supposed to use a swipe reader for magnetic cards. I imagine using a 16F84 and a serial EEPROM to do the task, and I wonder if someone already has done card-reading with a PIC, where I can be allowed to look how it is - or can be - done. If not a PIC, then a hint towards code for another microcontroller would be greatly appreciated.
