Help setting up RFID reader with hard to understand schematic with arduino UNO

Thanks for the replies.

I tried the Software serial on pin 9, with the quoted code at baud rates 9600 and higher, unfortunately still no read from the reader.

Is there anyway I can test the reader to see if its working? my soldering isnt the greatest, Im hoping I havent fried the reader.

Will get hold of some female headers and try again. Will also try Wiegand instead of serial.

I found some extra information about the reader, serial number SM-WL125 (see attached picture), seems to be 9600 baud rate.

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial mySerial(9, 10);
void setup()
{
mySerial.begin(9600); // Setting the baud rate of Software Serial Library
Serial.begin(9600); //Setting the baud rate of Serial Monitor
}void loop()
{

if(mySerial.available()>0)
{
Serial.write(mySerial.read());
}
}
