Hi,
I am currently doing a project, it include a Microchip Explore 16 mcu board, a Parallax reader (28140) and interface with pc (VB6).·I have a few qustions:
1) Does this sound like doable?
2) If so, how can i connect the reader on the board? i did some research on the reader, it said i only need to connect 1 wire to the board. Most of the info i found is connected to a LCD so i have no idea where should i connect the wire on the board.
3) The main purpose is to keep track of the card that swiped, so basically after i swiped 3-4 cards, i check it on VB to see which card, name, time, can i do that?
Please help me out [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Pin 1 VCC +5V DC input.
Pin 2 /ENABLE Bring this pin LOW to enable the RFID reader and activate the antenna.
Pin 3 Serial Output,·TTL-level interface, 2400bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
Pin 4 GND
You will need to connect the ( +5V DC input and ground) on the card reader to the (+5V DC and ground) on your target board; Pin 2 must be taken LOW to enable the serial output on Pin 3. Since the serial output is TTL, you can connect it directly to an input pin on the microcontroller. The manual provides details on decoding the output stream.
