thank you very much for the quick reply! yes i have read the tutorial. i tried placing
if(code==stephen){
digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
delay(1200);
digitalWrite(13,LOW);
}
where you said and this did not work either.
i am beginning to wonder if char stephen[11]="8400338A85";
is the problem. I have verified that i have the correct code for the card multiple times any suggestions?
