#136549 - RS485 Responding to: ???'s previous message |
This sounds like a case example for RS485, plus implementing some sort of master-slave protocol.
Of course, viability of any solution depends on the exact circumstances. How much control you have over the cardreaders' firmware, PC software and all the hardware involved? Jan Waclawek |
