relationship between Sparkfun RFID and PCSC standard?

Sensors NFC & RFID

I’m trying to understand whether the Sparkfun RFID system works within the PCSC standard. I am trying to use the npm package pcsclite

https://www.npmjs.com/package/pcsclite

with the Sparkfun RFID USB reader, but I’m not able to detect the reader with the library using the example posted on the page above.

On Mac OSX terminal I ran

ls /dev | grep usb

and got

cu.usbserial-A60249GZ
tty.usbserial-A60249GZ

but when I ran

cd /Applications/Utilities/
pcsctest

I only get

MUSCLE PC/SC Lite Test Program

Testing SCardEstablishContext    : Command successful.

Hello jfantauzza and thanks for writing.

Our USB RFID reader wasn’t designed for and doesn’t work with the PCSC standard. Sorry!
