I did do it, took me days, then i stupidly over wrote it and now can not for the life of me remember how i done it.
So when reader 1 pops up and is read by the rfid card, it sends data, i need to be able to read this data then say if reader 0 do this or if reader 1 do that. So i need to read the byte data, but i was just messing with some other code that is reading to buffer and now i'm getting confused.
Reader 0 is a reader number and not a low or high.

#include <MFRC522.h>

constexpr uint8_t SS_2_PIN = 8; // Configurable, take a unused pin, only HIGH/LOW required, must be diffrent to SS 1
constexpr uint8_t NR_OF_READERS = 2;
byte ssPins[] = {SS_1_PIN, SS_2_PIN};

for (uint8_t reader = 0; reader < NR_OF_READERS; reader++) {
mfrc522[reader].PCD_Init(ssPins[reader], RST_PIN); // Init each MFRC522 card
Serial.print(F("Reader "));
Serial.print(reader);
