hi i'm using a ProxPoint HID reader with arduino UNO to read HID cards. The reader is powered externally by a 12V power supply and the negative is connected to the ground of UNO. When i scan the card the cardcode will be displayed in the serial monitor however the cardcode is not always displayed in the serial monitor despite the HID reader beeping which indicates the card is scanned successfully. I think there's and internal counter of 3 second, so i wait 3 second in between scans but the output is not constant as it displays only every now and then. Below is the code i'm using.
#include <Wire.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#define MAX_BITS 100 // max number of bits
#define WEIGAND_WAIT_TIME 3000
unsigned char databits[MAX_BITS]; // stores all of the data bits
unsigned char bitCount; // number of bits currently captured
unsigned char flagDone; // goes low when data is currently being captured
unsigned int weigand_counter; // countdown until we assume there are no more bits
unsigned long facilityCode=0; // decoded facility code
unsigned long cardCode=0;
void ISR_INT0()
{
//Serial.print("0"); // uncomment this line to display raw binary
bitCount++;
flagDone = 0;
weigand_counter = WEIGAND_WAIT_TIME;
}
// interrupt that happens when INT1 goes low (1 bit)
void ISR_INT1()
{
//Serial.print("1"); // uncomment this line to display raw binary
databits[bitCount] = 1;
bitCount++;
flagDone = 0;
weigand_counter = WEIGAND_WAIT_TIME;
}
void setup() {
/* HID */
pinMode(2, INPUT); // DATA0 (INT0)
pinMode(3, INPUT); // DATA1 (INT1)
/* HID */
Wire.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
/* HID */
attachInterrupt(0, ISR_INT0, FALLING);
attachInterrupt(1, ISR_INT1, FALLING);
weigand_counter = WEIGAND_WAIT_TIME;
/* HID */
// put your setup code here, to run once:
}
void loop() {
/* HID */
// This waits to make sure that there have been no more data pulses before processing data
if (!flagDone) {
if (--weigand_counter == 0)
flagDone = 1;
}
// if we have bits and we the weigand counter went out
if (bitCount > 0 && flagDone) {
unsigned char i;
/*Serial.print("Read ");
Serial.print(bitCount);
Serial.print(" bits. ");*/
if (bitCount == 35)
{
// 35 bit HID Corporate 1000 format
// facility code = bits 2 to 14
for (i=2; i<14; i++)
{
facilityCode <<=1;
facilityCode |= databits[i];
}
// card code = bits 14 to 34
for (i=14; i<34; i++)
{
cardCode <<=1;
cardCode |= databits[i];
}
//print card ID
printBits();
//temperature reader
}
// cleanup and get ready for the next card
bitCount = 0;
facilityCode = 0;
cardCode = 0;
for (i=0; i<MAX_BITS; i++)
{
databits[i] = 0;
}
}/* HID */
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}
void printBits() {
Serial.println(cardCode);
}
