Hello,
I have purchased the parallax USB RFID reader and I am looking for a way to make it read the HID Identacards. Does anyone have any code or ideas for this?

    The RFID Reader we carry supports EM410x series unique tags. Are these HID Ident Cards the same standard?

    The Parallax RFID reader is designed for a specific RFID tag type (EM410x series). It will only work with tags that are compatible with that type and it cannot be made to read other types of tags.

    There is a thread (see here) describing a software-only RFID reader (with a coil and a few passive components described in the thread) using the Propeller. The author indicates that it can handle both EM410x and HID Identcard tags. In any event, being a software controlled reader, it could be modified (as the author indicates) to read other 125KHz tags as well.
