Card Reader Project

 

 

Looking to try your hand at reading some mag stripe cards? This Card Reader Project has some great information and some code to get you started.

"The Magstripe (Track 2) Reader project can be used to view numerics stored a magnetic data card. Although there is no writeback ability, the device is very useful as a card debugger. The treatise will use an LCD character display to relay this data to the user. The circuit uses an AVR microcontroller and can modified to work with similar RISC controllers."
