Need help with magnetic card reader
PostPosted: Tue May 06, 2008 5:29 pm     Reply with quote
Hi guys I've changed the mcr.c file to read in both directions, but its very strange the data seens different when passed in the other direction ...
Here is my code
Code:

int mcr_read(char* track1=0x00, char* track2=0x00)
{
   int   error        = 0;

   int1  dataBit      = 0;

   char  i=0;
   int1  RtoL2         = 0;
   

   int1  set_one_time2= 0;

   int1  ST2          = 1;
   int1  ST2_old      = 1;
   int1  firstOne2    = 0;
   int1  parity2      = 0;
   int   count2       = 0;
   int   index2       = 0;
   int   LRC2         = 0;
   int   StCount2     = 0;

   int currentBit2 = 0;

   char  tmpEndSentinel2=0;
   
   char tmpTrack2[40];

   for(i=0;i<40;i++)   
   {     
     Track2[i]=0x00;
   }
   
   while(input(MCR_CARD_PRESENT))
   {
   }

   while(!input(MCR_CARD_PRESENT))
   {
      // Check for NULL pointer and an index less than 40
      if(tmpTrack2 != 0 && index2 < 40)
      {
         // Get strobe number 2
         ST2 = input(MCR_STROBE2);

         // If the strobe was high and is now low (falling edge),
         // then data is present
         if(ST2 == 0 && ST2_old == 1)

               if(bit_test(*(tmpTrack2+index2),currentBit2) == 1)
               {
                    // Set the first 1 received flag
                    firstOne2 = 1;

                    // Store the first 1

                currentBit2++;             
        }//end else !RtoL2         
  } //End while


 return error;
}//End function



The results are, passing the card in normal direction 0b, 05, 01 etc. its ok because when add 0x30 to it, it became 3b, 35 and 31 thats the right!

But the inverse response is 03, 05, 0d that if i add the 0x30 to it, it became 33, 35, 3d... wrong way ... I've rewrited this code almost ten times now, so I dont know more what to do ... can you guys help me with that ?

Thanks a lot guys

Ok I've done the full reading operation and it works amazing
now can some of you help me doing the lrc check ?

Here is the code, just the lrc and parity check is not working, but all the data is coming nice.

Code:

mcr.c for both directions
PostPosted: Fri Jun 18, 2010 8:34 am     Reply with quote
I'm an engineer from Brazil and I'm new in CCS forum.
I'm developing a project of a Magnetic Card Reader. I want to change the original mcr.c file to work in both directions.
I tried the code above but it worked fine in only one direction. When I tried in the other direction I can only see this in track 2 "1000000000000000000000000000000000000000".
Can you help me please?
Thanks.

Reading Track1 in both directions.
PostPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 12:03 pm     Reply with quote
Hello.
I tested the code above for Track2 more times and now it is working.
I can read Track2 in both directions fine.
I want to read the Track1 in both directions too. Can someone help me?
I tested the same code for Track1, only changed 0x30 to 0x20 in the conversion for ascii, but it did not work.
Thanks.
Code:

int mcr_read(char* track1=0x00, char* track2=0x00)
{
   int   error        = 0;

   int1  dataBit      = 0;

   int  i=0;
   
   int1  RtoL1         = 0;
   int1  set_one_time1= 0;
   
   int1  ST1      = 1;
   int1  ST1_old  = 1;
   int1  firstOne1= 0;
   int1  parity1  = 0;
   int   count1   = 0;
   int   index1   = 0;
   int   LRC1     = 0;
   
   int currentBit1 = 0;
   char  tmpEndSentinel1=0;   
   char tmpTrack1[79];
   
   for(i=0;i<79;i++)   
   {     
     Track1[i]=0x00;
     tmpTrack1[i]=0x00;
   }

   while(input(MCR_CARD_PRESENT))
   {
   }

   while(!input(MCR_CARD_PRESENT))
   {     

      if(tmpTrack1 != 0 && index1 < 79)
      {

         ST1 = input(MCR_STROBE1);

         if(ST1 == 0 && ST1_old == 1)
         {
            ST1_old = 0;

I tested the same code for Track1, only changed 0x30 to 0x20 in the conversion for ascii, but it did not work.

This makes no sense to me.

The line you refer to is converting the decimal data to readable ASCII code. It has nothing to do with selecting the track number. Have a look at the ASCII table to understand what the line is doing.
For example: If you have read the decimal value 3 and add 0x30 you get 0x33, this is character '3' in the table.
With your change the decimal value 3 becomes 0x20 + 3 = 0x23, which is the character '#'. Not really a helpful conversion...

Code:
int mcr_read(char* track1=0x00, char* track2=0x00)
You can not initialize variables like this in C. Change to:
Code:
int mcr_read(char* track1, char* track2)


Instead of modifying the code from the forum I suggest you use the mcr.c driver file, see your CCS program directory. This is the same driver but with several bugs fixed.
See ex_mcr.c for how to use it.

To read Track1 your card reader must have physical support this. For example the Omron V3A-6 that the driver was written for uses a separate clock and data output for each track.

Take a look at the code of mcr.c
As you see, in the decoding process of Track 1 the conversion to ASCII is different.

Code:

Have you been able to read backwards the Track 1 data? If so, please let me know. Thanks
