Please, how can I read data from magnetic card with this Magtek swipe reader? http://www.magtek.com/documentation/public/99831083-5.02.pdf

    Hello,
    ·
    ·· Looking at the timing diagram this device acts like an SPI master.· Since the BASIC Stamp can not be a slave and must generate the clock, I would recommend programming an SX chip as a co-processor to handle this device.· This has come up before, and in fact I think the OP did successfully create an SX program to do just that in the SX Forum.· I hope this helps.· Take care.
