Read Softserial RFID directly from Linino side

Hi there,

I am trying to move all possible processing from the Arduino side to the Linino side.

I have an RFID reader ID-12 from Sparkfun connected to the arduino side using SoftSerial.

Instead of doing a while(serial.available()) on the Arduino side, is it possible to do something similar on the Linino side ?

Can I directly access the softserial from the Linino side ?

Thanks in advance for any help,

a ttl to USB converter?

Sorry but I am not sure what you mean with your suggestion :slight_smile:

I have two wires coming from the RFID on the breakout board connected to Arduino pin's 8 and 9.

On the Arduino side I can use softserial to read the values and identify the RFID card. How can I read these values directly on the Linino side ? I was looking for ways to do this without having to rely on the REST API, which I assume, will be very slow reading one byte at a time.

a ttl to usb allows you to convert the 2 wires to a USB which you can plug into your linino USB and then use standard linux stuff to read from probably /dev/ttyACM0

Thanks for the suggestion Jantje, I will look into doing this.
