This tool should work with any device that uses MSR206 firmware, including the following:
#Program for msr605x serial
Even if you're working with a serial device, taking a non-serial approach will force you to gain a deeper understanding of how USB interactions work. Hopefully, this repository will act as both a tool, and a reference for those attempting to interface HID devices. There is very limited documentation on the direct control of USB devices without using serial libraries.There is next-to-nothing in existence concerning an HID based approach.Serial libraries handle USB communications for you, only requiring knowledge of the device's firmware.There are numerous tools out there written for serial MSR devices (all utilize serial libraries).It offers the reading, writing, and manipulation of data stored on magentic stripe cards. It offers HID-based control of any MSR device sporting MSR206 firmware. This tool is essentially a command-line driver for MSR devices. Information on the device's firmware was found in the programming manual that is included in this repository. Assuming an understanding of the functionality of USB as well as the device-to-device communication that occurs across a USB connection, PyUSB allows you to control any device that is connected to a USB port. Therefore, this tool is written using PyUSB, a module for accessing and controlling a computer's USB system. While this eliminates the inconvenience of requiring a power supply, the lack of a serial connection means USB communication with this device is impossible via the convenience of serial libraries. It is not a USB serial device like the MSR605. The MSR605X is a USB HID device powered by the USB port and computer it is connected to. This tool was designed for and tested with the MSR605X magentic stripe reader. A command-line tool for interfacing magnetic stripe devices.
