Question about the Smart Card Reader (32320)

Hi,

I'm doing a project with an MSP430F5438A, and I was wondering if I could connect the Parallax Smart Card Reader (https://www.parallax.com/StoreSearchResults/tabid/768/txtSearch/32320/List/0/SortField/4/ProductID/690/Default.aspx) to this MCU. In the documentation it says it has support for the BASIC Stamp and Propeller MCU's, but I see it's got I/O and CLK pins, so I2C, so I should be able to connect it. Is there any issues with connecting to an MCU that is not the one's in the documentation?

Thanks

    Pretty much any MCU can communicate with the smart card reader. All that is required are the I/O pins and software to produce and read the necessary signals.
