EM-18 RF Reader: UID PROBLEM

I have an EM-18 Reader Module and some RFID cards which have UID written on them in the following format:
0011386436
0011366459
0001270930
0011386333

I also have a USB RFID Reader which is reading UID exactly as I provided above. Now, I want to use the EM-18 with microcontroller like Arduino/ESP8266/ESP32. I've tried many codes and conversions, but no code is reading UID in my above required format. Can anyone help me with that?

What codes have you tried? What controller? Post your code and people can help.

This looks like a good tutorial: RFID Reader EM18 Guide with Arduino Interfacing | Sensors and Mod..

Since it is a 5V sensor, it would be good to go with a 5V microcontroller (not ESP).


i wana read card number written on RF id tag
but all codes i try is reading uid in hex format as you can see on display
how can i convert hex to card number?
because hex to decimal method is not working

7640002 = 0x7493C2

I see those hex digits on your display, plus a couple more.... I have no idea what code you are running so can't help you any further. Is the trailing byte (0x5B) possibly a checksum?
