ID-20

I am experimenting with an ID-20. My goal is to get it to continuously read the presence of an ID card. Once the card is removed, a simple alarm will sound.

I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

Thanks

not enough specifics

I don’t think the ID-20 is going to work for your needs. It doesn’t have any outputs that continuously indicate that a card is present. The buzzer pin only produces a momentary output when the card is first detected. Even the CP (card present) pin only goes high during data transmission and this is only applicable to magnetic stripe emulation.

What if you continuously turned the reader on and off?
