Magnetic card swipe reader

Posts: 46,084
Here is a way to read devices that have there own serial clock, its a 18
bit shift register that can be set from 1 to 18 bits. This diagram is for
16 bits, the bits shift through the device, you will need to OR the clock
line for the two devices using the data. You will also need to know how
many bit's you are using, as these can be cascaded for any combination of
bits needed. Second thing is knowing when the first device is done, so the
stamp can read the data.
good luck

Has anybody ever used an OMRON Manual Swipe Magnetic Card Reader 3S4YR-HSR?
This is a "bare" 1 channel mag stripe reader with TTL outputs.
It has three outputs :
-RDP (inv) read data
-RCP (inv) read clock
-CLS (inv) card load
When I attach a scope on RDP and swipe a card, I can see a lot of pulses
with an irregular pattern, the data (active low)
When I attach a scope on RCP and swipe a card, I can see a lot of pulses
with a regular pattern, the clock (active low)
When I attach a scope on CLS and swipe a card, it goes low while the card is
moving
My idea was to use CLS to trigger a subroutine where the data is imported
synchronised with the RCP (clock pulses)
Using SHIFTIN for this purpose isn't possible because the CPIN (in shiftin
dpin,cpin,mode) is used as an output and the swipe reader produces its own
clock pulses (frequency depends on the swipe speed)
I want to use the reader in a car alarm system where the card code is
checked against a predefined code
Greetz and thx in advance

card. The swipe card wear out, but ibuttons, and the reader for the ibutton
are near indestructible.

the MagTek, output a 5-bit word. Ideally you want to find one with the logic
board on it, so the card reader decodes the stripe and outputs actual
characters.
