Hi Folks
A very quick post on how I setup a wiegand reader....
Here is where you get the library from:
https://github.com/monkeyboard/Wiega...ry-for-Arduino
This is how you connect the wiegand reader to the arduino
![]()
Pin 5 on Arduino is used to toggle the LED on the reader.
Here is how I setup the Arduino Board under API mode:
![]()
And lastly how I setup the tags against the reader.
![]()
Clearly there are a whole bunch of other things you can do on the arduino, add a door strike, exit button and reed switch on the door and write your events accordingly.
Good luck !
Pete
