Wiegand data and com port

[samiassaad]

Hi sir/
I am using PIC16F877 to read weigand data from a HID card reader proxpoint. I am using 24 bits crad , 8 bits is site code and 16 bits card number. Also there is 2 extra bits added by the reader called parity bit, please could you tell me about the parity bits? DO they implement as logic 0 or logic 1?
also could you tell me about weigand protocol, the order of data in it? and I will be very thankul.
Best Regards
Sami Assaad

Hi!
Wiegand timing is a difficult question. I found one doc ( http://parsek.yf.ttu.ee/~felc/Wiegand2.pdf ) but in reality it looks different and depends much on manufacturers ...ee...fantasy ? Anyway, working principle is always the same, like described in the pdf.
About code. Are the files, mentioned in my postings missing? There should be full Prox reader code for PIC12F629 and essential part for PIC16F628 reading 2 readers simultaneously. Heavily commented.
In assembly, of course
