This library tries to provide an open source interface to the rfid reader mir:ror by violet. This is only tested on linux. Maybe it works on other Unixes (FreeBSD, OSX, etc.) too.
Sample input:
Mifare-type rfid (used in some cafeteria / library cards) 02 01 00 00 04 72 9c 0b 90 nano:ztag 02 02 00 00 08 d0 02 1a 03 52 d0 2a af
Protocol:
------- payload ------
| | | | | | | |
-- payload size
|
02 02 00 00 08 d0 02 1a 03 52 d0 2a af
^
-- opening flag
^
-- direction (01 for arriving at the reader / 02 for leaving the reader)
^ ^
------ padding or additional payload size information
This is rather a rough scretch than a working interface.
To use this, you have to
In order to be able to access the mir:ror ruby-mirror needs read access to the device file. ruby-mirror will automatically try to detect the device and set the necessary permissions. In order to do so it needs root privileges. ruby-mirror will try to obtain those privileges by first trying sudo and if that fails su.
The script running with root privileges (detect-mirror) is completely seperated from all other ruby-mirror code. After successful detection all ruby-mirror code runs with normal user privileges.
