Years ago the magnetic strip on cards had three recorded stripes. Each was recorded with a different pattern. MagTek is an old reliable company that has made hundreds of different card readers. Which one do you have and do you have cards that will work with it?

I don't know which model I have, I want to read just track2, I trying to make door card reader, I recently tried to code binary decoder, Do you think it would be better if I buy decoding circuit (chip). To output the extract data to Arduino.
