Hi SparkFun Community,
I’m working with the Simultaneous RFID Reader - M6E Nano on a Raspberry Pi 4 and have run into consistent issues trying to get it operational via Python. I’ve tried installing the Mercury API via multiple methods (including the python-mercuryapi wrapper and attempting to clone/build the ThingMagic repo), but every route has led to dead ends—missing repos, broken zip links, or modules not found. After manually wiring it and checking all serial configs, the reader still returns “waiting for the next read…” endlessly.
Has anyone had success with this board recently using direct Python serial communication or a working Mercury API fork? Would switching to the M7E Hecto improve compatibility/support in your experience?
Appreciate any advice or code examples—thanks!
Facundo
