trying to get my ID-20 to read

Hey, I recently purchased both the RFID reader board and ID-20 chip but I cant seam to get it working. Im on windows 7 so Im using Putty. I downloaded the drivers and the reader does come up as COM6 on my device drivers. I set everything right as it says in the tutorial but it just isnt reading. Im left with a blank black screen not picking up anything.

I never ordered an RFID tag because I had 2 of these Mobil speed passes and I knew they were RFID tags but it isnt working.

thats what it looks like.

could it be that it just works at a difference frequency than 125KHz?

Is there anyway to test if the chip is working properly?

those will not work, i’m not sure what frequency they use but they are far more secure, just so geeks like us can’t clone them
